DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which impedes email addresses from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by attaching a digital signature to each and every email message sent from an email address under a specific domain name. The signature is issued on the basis of a private encryption key that is available on the sending server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email with modified content or a spoofed sender can be identified by email service providers. This technology will boost your worldwide web security greatly and you’ll be sure that any e-mail message sent from a business ally, a banking institution, and so on, is genuine. When you send messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that appears to be counterfeit may either be labeled as such or may never show up in the receiver’s inbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to cope with such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Hosting

If you order any of the Linux hosting that we’re offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality will be enabled by default for any domain name that you add to your account, so you won’t need to create any records or to activate anything manually. When a domain is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS resource records (so that the email messages related to this domain name will be handled by our cloud platform), a private encryption key will be issued immediately on our mail servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the global Domain Name System. All addresses set up using this domain will be protected by DKIM, so if you send out emails such as periodic newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the receivers will be sure that the messages are authentic, since the DKIM functionality makes it impossible for unauthorized individuals to forge your e-mail addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

All required DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be created automatically by our cloud platform when you add a domain name as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so if you decide to buy a semi-dedicated hosting package, you will not need to configure anything to be able to take advantage of the email validation system. The domain name must use our name servers so that its DNS resource records can be managed by our company and in case this condition is answered, a private encryption key will be generated on our mail servers and a public key will be added to the DNS database by a special TXT resource record. All addresses that you set up using the domain will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for third parties to fake any email address. Both you and your associates or customers can take advantage of this functionality, since it will ensure a higher safety level for your online correspondence.
