DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which stops email headers from being forged and email content from being meddled with. This is achieved by attaching an e-signature to each email sent from an address under a given domain name. The signature is issued on the basis of a private key that is 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 email message with changed content or a spoofed sender can be spotted by email service providers. This approach will strengthen your web safety significantly and you’ll be sure that any email sent from a business associate, a banking institution, etc., is a genuine one. When you send out emails, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that appears to be forged may either be labeled as such or may never be delivered to the receiver’s inbox, based on how the given provider has decided to cope with such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is pre-activated for all domains that are hosted in a hosting account on our cloud platform, so you won’t have to do anything on your end to activate it. The sole condition is that the given domain should be hosted in a hosting account on our platform using our MX and NS records, so that the emails will go through our email servers. The private cryptographic key will be generated on the server and the TXT resource record, which contains the public key, will be published to the global DNS system automatically, so you will not have to do anything manually on your end in order to activate this functionality. The DomainKeys Identified Mail authentication system will enable you to send out trustable messages, so if you’re sending a newsletter or offers to clients, for instance, your emails will always reach their target audience, while unsolicited third parties won’t be able to spoof your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you select any of the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we’re offering, you’ll be able to use DomainKeys Identified Mail protection with any domain name that you register through your new semi-dedicated server account without any manual setup, as our leading-edge cloud platform will create all the needed records automatically, as long as the domain name uses our name servers. The aforementioned is needed for a TXT resource record to be created for the domain, since this is how the public cryptographic key can become available in the global Domain Name System. The private key will also be added automatically to our mail servers, so every time you send out a new email message, it will include our platform’s electronic signature. The number of spam email messages continues to increase every year and rather often phony email addresses are used, but if you make use of our web hosting services, you and your customers or partners will not need to bother about that.
