DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an authentication system, which blocks email addresses from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by attaching an e-signature to each email message sent from an email address under a specific domain name. The signature is created on the basis of a private cryptographic key that is available on the outgoing SMTP email server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email message with edited content or a forged sender can be spotted by email providers. This method will enhance your web security dramatically and you will be sure that any message sent from a business ally, a bank, and so on, is authentic. When you send out messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be phony may either be marked as such or may never show up in the recipient’s inbox, depending on how the given provider has decided to handle such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Web Hosting
You will be able to make use of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every Linux cloud web hosting that we offer without the need to do anything in particular, as the required records for using this email authentication system are set up automatically by our website hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active account using the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the particular domain name uses our NS records, a private cryptographic key will be created and kept on our mail servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS system. If you send out regular emails to clients or business collaborators, they’ll always be received and no unauthorized person will be able to spoof your address and make it look like you’ve written a given message.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
The DomainKeys Identified Mail feature comes 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 resource records are managed 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 particular email is authentic or not. Such a record is created as soon as a brand-new domain name is added to a semi-dedicated hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel and at the same time, a private key is created on our mail servers. If you make use of our email and web hosting services, your emails will always reach their target audience and you won’t need to worry about unsolicited parties using your addresses for scamming or spamming purposes, which is something rather important when you use emails to contact your business allies.
