DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which hinders email headers from being forged and email content from being manipulated. This is done by adding an e-signature to each and every email sent from an address under a specific domain name. The signature is generated based on a private encryption key that’s available on the outbound email server and it can be verified by using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. In this way, any email with modified content or a forged sender can be identified by email service providers. This technology will heighten your online security substantially and you’ll know for sure that any e-mail message sent from a business partner, a bank, etc., is genuine. When you send email messages, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be phony may either be labeled as such or may never appear in the recipient’s inbox, depending on how the given provider has decided to deal with such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting
If you buy any of the cloud plans that we offer, the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature will be enabled by default for any domain that you add to your website hosting account, so you won’t need to set up any records or to enable anything manually. When a domain name is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS resource records (so that the emails associated with this domain name will be handled by our cloud platform), a private encryption key will be issued instantly on our mail servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS system. All addresses created with this domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send email messages such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the receivers will know that the messages are authentic, as the DKIM functionality makes it impossible for unsolicited parties to spoof your email addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
The DomainKeys Identified Mail option comes by default with any domain that’s added to a semi-dedicated server account with our company. The domain should also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are managed by our platform. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT record to be set up, which is actually the public encryption key that verifies if a particular email message is authentic or not. This record is created the moment a domain is registered in a semi-dedicated account through the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is created on our mail servers. If you make use of our email and web hosting services, your messages will always reach their target viewers and you won’t have to worry about unauthorized people spoofing your addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is essential if you use email messages to touch base with your business collaborators.
