DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which prevents email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being modified. This is done by adding an e-signature to each and every message sent from an email address under a specific domain name. The signature is generated based on a private key that is available on the outgoing mail server and it can be verified with a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any message with altered content or a forged sender can be recognized by mail service providers. This technology will enhance your web safety significantly and you’ll be sure that any email message sent from a business collaborator, a banking institution, and so on, is legitimate. When you send email messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that appears to be bogus may either be tagged as such or may never end up in the receiver’s inbox, depending on how the given provider has chosen to deal with such emails.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Website Hosting
The DomainKeys Identified Mail option is pre-enabled for all domains that are hosted in a cloud website hosting account on our cloud web hosting platform, so you won’t need to do anything on your end to activate it. The only requirement is that the given domain name should be hosted in a web hosting account on our end using our MX and NS records, so that the e-mail messages will go through our email servers. The private cryptographic key will be generated on the server and the TXT resource record, which contains the public key, will be published to the global DNS system automatically, so you will not have to do anything manually on your end in order to enable this feature. The DomainKeys Identified Mail email authentication system will enable you to send trustable e-mail messages, so if you’re sending a newsletter or offers to customers, for instance, your email messages will always reach their target viewers, whereas unsolicited 3rd parties won’t be able to forge your email addresses.
