DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which stops email addresses from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by adding an e-signature to every email sent from an address under a particular domain name. The signature is issued based on a private cryptographic key that is available on the outbound SMTP email server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any email message with edited content or a forged sender can be identified by mail service providers. This approach will increase your worldwide web safety substantially and you will know for sure that any email sent from a business partner, a bank, etc., is authentic. When you send email messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that turns out to be forged may either be tagged as such or may never reach the receiver’s inbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to deal with such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you host a domain in a cloud web hosting account with our company, all the compulsory records for using the DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality will be created by default. This will happen the moment you add the domain name in the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, as long as the domain also uses our NS records. A private key will be created on our mail servers, whereas a public key will be added to the DNS system automatically using the TXT resource record. Thus, you won’t have to do anything manually and you will be able to take advantage of all the benefits of this authentication system – your emails will be sent to any audience without being discarded and no one will be able to send emails forging your addresses. The latter is very important if the essence of your web presence involves sending out periodic newsletters or offers via email to prospective and current customers.
