DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which obstructs email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being tampered with. This is done by adding an electronic signature to each and every email message sent from an email address under a particular domain. The signature is generated based on a private encryption key that’s available on the sending server and it can be verified with a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email with changed content or a spoofed sender can be recognized by email service providers. This method will boost your worldwide web 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 emails, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be fake may either be labeled as such or may never show up in the recipient’s mailbox, based on how the given provider has chosen to treat such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Web Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is pre-activated for all domain names that are hosted in a web hosting account on our cloud website hosting platform, so you won’t have to do anything yourself to enable it. The only condition is that the given domain should be hosted in a hosting account on our end using our NS and MX records, so that the email messages will go through our email servers. The private key will be generated on the server and the TXT record, which contains the public key, will be published to the Domain Name System automatically, so you won’t have to do anything manually on your end in order to activate this functionality. The DomainKeys Identified Mail email validation system will permit you to send out trustable e-mail messages, so if you’re sending a newsletter or offers to clients, for example, your emails will always reach their target destination, whereas unauthorized third parties won’t be able to forge your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality 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 records are managed by our system. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be created, which is actually the public encryption key that confirms if a certain email message is legitimate or not. Such a record is created when a new domain is added to a semi-dedicated hosting 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 readers and you won’t have to worry about unsolicited people using your email addresses for scamming or spamming purposes, which is something quite important in case you use email messages to communicate with your business associates.
