DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which obstructs email addresses from being forged and email content from being modified. This is achieved by adding a digital signature to each and every email message sent from an email address under a specific domain. The signature is issued on the basis of a private encryption key that’s available on the SMTP server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any email with changed content or a forged sender can be identified by mail service providers. This approach will heighten your web safety greatly and you will know for sure that any e-mail sent from a business associate, a banking institution, and so on, is genuine. When you send messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be fake may either be marked as such or may never be delivered to the recipient’s mailbox, depending on how the given provider has decided to deal with such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail option is pre-enabled for all domains that are hosted in a hosting account on our cloud web hosting platform, so you will not have to do anything yourself to activate it. The sole condition is that the particular domain should be hosted in a website hosting account on our platform using our MX and NS records, so that the emails will go through our email servers. The private encryption key will be generated on the server and the TXT record, which includes the public key, will be published to the DNS system automatically, so you won’t have to do anything manually on your end in order to enable this functionality. The DomainKeys Identified Mail authentication system will allow you to send credible messages, so if you are sending offers or a newsletter to clients, for instance, your email messages will always reach their target destination, whereas unsolicited third parties will not be able to forge your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is included by default with any domain name that’s registered through a semi-dedicated server account with us. It must also use our name servers, so that its DNS records are handled by our system. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT record to be set up, which is actually the public key that verifies if a particular email message is legitimate or not. This record is set up when a brand new domain name is added to an account via the Hepsia Control Panel and at the same time, a private key is created on our email servers. If you use our email and web hosting services, your email messages will always reach their target audience and you will not have to worry about unsolicited individuals forging your addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something very important if you use email messages to touch base with your business associates.
