DomainKeys Identified Mail, or DKIM, is a system for verifying the genuineness of an email message using a digital signature. When DomainKeys Identified Mail is activated for a given domain, a public encryption key is published to the global Domain Name System and a private one is kept on the mail server. When a new email message is sent, a signature is issued using the private key and when the message is received, the signature is verified by the incoming server using the public key. In this way, the receiver can easily distinguish if the message is genuine or if the sender’s address has been forged. A discrepancy will occur if the content of the email has been changed in the meantime as well, so DomainKeys Identified Mail can also be used to make sure that the sent and the received emails are identical and that nothing has been attached or erased. This authentication system will heighten your email security, as you can confirm the genuineness of the important emails that you get and your partners can do likewise with the messages that you send them. Based on the given email provider’s policies, a message that fails to pass the test may be deleted or may be delivered to the recipient’s mailbox with a warning.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Web Hosting
You’ll be able to get the most out of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each Linux shared web hosting that we’re offering without having to do anything in particular, since the required records for using this validation system are created automatically by our hosting platform when you add a domain to an active hosting account via the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the domain name in question 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. In case you send out periodic emails to customers or business allies, they’ll always be delivered and no unauthorized individual will be able to spoof your address and make it seem like you have written a certain email message.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you select one of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we’re offering, you’ll be able to use the DKIM feature with any domain name that you add to your new semi-dedicated account without any manual intervention, as our cutting-edge cloud platform will create all the mandatory records automatically, as long as the domain uses our name servers. The aforementioned is needed for a TXT resource record to be set up for the domain name, since this is how the public key can become available in the global Domain Name System. The private key will also be added automatically to our mail servers, so every time you send a new message, it will have our system’s digital signature. The number of unsolicited bulk emails continues to rise each year and quite often false email addresses are used, but if you use our hosting services, you and your customers or colleagues won’t need to bother about that.
