DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which obstructs email addresses from being forged and email content from being meddled with. This is achieved by attaching a digital signature to every message sent from an email address under a given domain. The signature is generated on the basis of a private key that’s available on the SMTP mail server and it can be validated using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email message with altered content or a forged sender can be recognized by mail service providers. This technology will increase your online safety immensely and you will know for sure that any message sent from a business collaborator, a bank, etc., is authentic. When you send out messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be forged may either be labeled as such or may never show up in the receiver’s mailbox, based on how the given provider has chosen to deal with such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Website Hosting
In case you host a domain in a shared website hosting account with us, all the obligatory records for using the DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality will be set up by default. This will happen once you add the domain name in , on the condition that the domain also uses our NS records. A private encryption key will be generated on our email servers, whereas a public key will be published to the DNS database automatically by using the TXT record. Thus, you will not need to do anything manually and you’ll be able to make use of all the benefits of this validation system – your email messages will be delivered to any target destination without being denied and nobody will be able to send emails faking your e-mail addresses. The latter is really important in case the nature of your web presence suggests sending out regular offers or newsletters via email to potential and existing customers.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The DomainKeys Identified Mail protection service is included by default with any domain name that is registered through a semi-dedicated server account with us. The domain must also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are handled by our platform. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be created, which is actually the public cryptographic key that confirms if a given message is genuine or not. Such a record is created as soon as a domain name is added to a semi-dedicated server account through the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is created on our email servers. If you make use of our email and web hosting services, your messages will always reach their target audience and you won’t need to worry about unsolicited individuals forging your addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something quite important when you use email messages to contact your business collaborators.
