DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which obstructs email headers from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by attaching an e-signature to each email sent from an address under a specific domain. The signature is published based on a private cryptographic key that is available on the sending server and it can be validated using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email with altered content or a forged sender can be spotted by email service providers. This method will enhance your online safety greatly and you will know for sure that any email sent from a business ally, a banking institution, etc., is a genuine one. 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 fake may either be flagged as such or may never reach the receiver’s inbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to deal with such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting
If you host a domain in a shared hosting account from us, all the required records for using the DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality will be created by default. This will happen the moment you add the domain in , provided that your 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 global DNS system automatically by using the TXT record. Thus, you will not have to do anything manually and you will be able to take full advantage of all the benefits of this email validation system – your emails will be sent to any target destination without being discarded and nobody will be able to send out email messages forging your email addresses. The latter is very important in case the type of your worldwide web presence involves sending out regular newsletters or offers via email to prospective and current clients.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is included by default with any domain that is registered through a semi-dedicated server account with us. It 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 record to be created, which is actually the public key that confirms if a certain email is legitimate or not. This record is set up the moment a domain is registered in a semi-dedicated hosting 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 email messages will always reach their target destination and you won’t have to worry about unauthorized persons using your email addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something pretty important if you use emails to get in touch with your business allies.
