DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which hinders email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being meddled with. This is achieved by attaching an e-signature to each and every email sent from an address under a certain domain. The signature is generated based on a private encryption key that is available on the sending server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any message with edited content or a spoofed sender can be spotted by mail service providers. This approach will heighten your worldwide web safety noticeably and you’ll know for sure that any message sent from a business collaborator, a banking institution, etc., is genuine. When you send emails, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be fake may either be tagged as such or may never show up in the recipient’s mailbox, depending on how the particular provider has chosen to handle such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Web Hosting
If you purchase any of the Linux web hosting that we offer, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be activated as standard for any domain that you add to your shared website hosting account, so you will not need to set up any records or to enable anything manually. When a domain is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS records (so that the email messages associated with this domain name will be handled by our cloud hosting platform), a private cryptographic key will be issued straight away on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the global DNS system. All email addresses created with this domain will be protected by DKIM, so if you send emails such as periodic newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the receivers will be sure that the messages are legitimate, because the DKIM feature makes it impossible for unsolicited parties to spoof your e-mail addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with DKIM activated by default, so in case you select this type of hosting and you add a domain name using our name servers via your Hepsia Control Panel, the records required for the email validation system will be created automatically – a private cryptographic key on our mail servers for the digital signature and a TXT resource record carrying the public key for the global Domain Name System. Since the protection is set up for a specific domain name, all e-mail addresses created under it will have a signature, so you won’t have to worry that the emails that you send out may not be delivered to their destination email address or that somebody may fake any of your email addresses and try to spam/scam people. This may be really important when you use e-communication in your business, since your associates and/or customers will be able to distinguish real messages from false ones.
