DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which blocks email addresses from being forged and email content from being meddled with. This is achieved by attaching a digital signature to every message sent from an email address under a specific domain. The signature is created on the basis of a private encryption key that’s available on the outgoing SMTP email 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 edited content or a forged sender can be identified by mail service providers. This technology will increase your web security immensely and you’ll be sure that any e-mail message sent from a business partner, a bank, and so on, is an authentic one. When you send email messages, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be forged may either be tagged as such or may never reach the recipient’s inbox, based on how the given provider has decided to deal with such email messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Web Hosting
In case you host a domain in a shared web hosting account from our company, all the necessary records for using the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature will be added by default. This will happen once you add the domain name in the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, on the condition that it also uses our NS resource records. A private key will be generated on our email servers, while a public key will be sent to the global Domain Name System automatically by using the TXT record. Thus, you will not need to do anything manually and you’ll be able to enjoy all the benefits of this validation system – your messages will be sent to any target audience without being disallowed and nobody will be able to send out email messages forging your email addresses. The latter is very important if the essence of your worldwide web presence suggests sending out regular offers or newsletters via email to potential and existing customers.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
All compulsory DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be set up automatically by our cloud platform when you add a domain name as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so if you choose to purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you won’t need to configure anything to be able to take advantage of the email validation system. The domain must use our name servers in order for its DNS records to be managed by us and if this precondition is met, a private encryption key will be generated on our email 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 third parties to fake any email address. Both you and your partners or clients can take advantage of this option, since it will ensure a much higher level of protection for your electronic communication.
