DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which prevents email headers from being spoofed and email content from being meddled with. This is done by adding an electronic signature to every email sent from an email address under a certain domain name. The signature is issued on the basis of a private encryption key that’s available on the SMTP server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any message with changed content or a spoofed sender can be recognized by email service providers. This technology will boost your worldwide web safety enormously and you will be sure that any email message sent from a business ally, a banking institution, and so on, is authentic. When you send out emails, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be counterfeit may either be labeled as such or may never end up in the receiver’s inbox, based on how the particular provider has decided to deal with such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting
When you buy any of the cloud hosting packages that we’re offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be enabled as standard for any domain that you add to your hosting account, so you won’t have to set up any records or to enable anything manually. When a domain name is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS resource records (so that the emails related to this domain name will be handled by our cloud hosting platform), a private encryption key will be created instantly on our email servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the global Domain Name System. All addresses created using this domain will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send out emails such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target audience and the receivers will be sure that they are authentic, because the DomainKeys Identified Mail option makes it impossible for unsolicited persons to forge your email addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with DomainKeys Identified Mail activated by default, so in case you opt for a semi-dedicated hosting package and you add a domain using our name servers via your Hepsia Control Panel, the records needed for the email validation system will be set up automatically – a private key on our email servers for the electronic signature and a TXT record carrying the public key for the Domain Name System. Since the protection is set up for a specific domain name, all email addresses created using it will have a signature, so you will not have to worry that the messages that you send may not be delivered to their target address or that someone may spoof any of your email addresses and attempt to scam/spam people. This may be really essential in case you rely on email communication in your business, as your colleagues and/or customers will be able to distinguish genuine emails from phony ones.
