DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which obstructs email headers from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is achieved by attaching a digital signature to each email message sent from an address under a particular domain. The signature is issued based on a private encryption key that’s available on the outgoing SMTP mail server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any email message with edited content or a forged sender can be recognized by email providers. This method will strengthen your online safety markedly and you’ll know for sure that any e-mail sent from a business associate, a bank, etc., is a genuine one. When you send email messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be bogus may either be tagged as such or may never be delivered to the recipient’s mailbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to cope with such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Website Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is enabled by default for all domains that are hosted in a cloud website hosting account on our cloud website hosting platform, so you won’t have to do anything yourself to enable it. The only requirement is that the particular domain should be hosted in a web hosting account on our platform using our NS and MX records, so that the emails will go through our mail servers. The private key will be created on the server and the TXT record, which includes the public key, will be published to the DNS database automatically, so you won’t have to do anything manually on your end in order to enable this option. The DomainKeys Identified Mail validation system will permit you to send out credible e-mails, so if you are sending offers or a newsletter to clients, for instance, your email messages will always reach their target viewers, whereas unsolicited 3rd parties won’t be able to spoof your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail option is offered by default with any domain that’s added to a semi-dedicated server account with us. The domain should also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are handled by our system. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be created, which is in fact the public cryptographic key that verifies if a particular email message is legitimate or not. Such a record is set up when a domain is added to a semi-dedicated hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is generated on our email servers. If you make use of our web and email hosting services, your email messages will always reach their target readers and you will not need to worry about unsolicited persons forging your email addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something very important if you use emails to communicate with your business collaborators.
