DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an authentication system, which obstructs email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being modified. This is achieved by attaching a digital signature to every email message sent from an email address under a particular domain. The signature is generated on the basis of a private encryption key that’s available on the sending server and it can be verified by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email message with altered content or a spoofed sender can be identified by email providers. This technology will increase your online security greatly and you’ll know for sure that any e-mail message sent from a business ally, a bank, etc., is a genuine one. When you send out email messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that appears to be bogus may either be flagged as such or may never show up in the receiver’s mailbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to cope with such messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting

In case you host a domain name in a cloud hosting account with our company, all the mandatory records for using the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be set up by default. This will happen as soon as you add the domain in the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, as long as the domain also uses our NS resource records. A private cryptographic key will be created on our mail servers, while a public key will be sent to the global Domain Name System automatically using the TXT record. Thus, you won’t need to do anything manually and you’ll be able to take full advantage of all the benefits of this email validation system – your email messages will be delivered to any destination without being disallowed and no one will be able to send out messages forging your addresses. The latter is rather important in case the nature of your worldwide web presence suggests sending out periodic offers or newsletters via email to prospective and current clients.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

All needed DKIM records will be created automatically by our cloud web hosting platform when you add a domain name as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so if you decide to get a semi-dedicated server package, you won’t need to configure anything to be able to use the email validation system. The domain should use our name servers in order for its DNS resource records to be managed on our end and as long as this condition is met, a private key will be created on our mail servers and a public key will be added to the global Domain Name System by a special TXT record. All email addresses that you create with the domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, which will make it impossible for 3rd parties to spoof any address. Both you and your partners or clients can benefit from this option, since it will ensure a much higher level of security for your online correspondence.
