DKIM, which is an abbreviation 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 every message sent from an email address under a particular domain. The signature is issued based on a private encryption key that is available on the outgoing SMTP mail server and it can be validated using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any email with altered content or a forged sender can be recognized by mail service providers. This method will enhance your online security immensely and you will know for sure that any e-mail message sent from a business ally, a banking institution, etc., is legitimate. When you send out messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be phony may either be flagged as such or may never reach the receiver’s mailbox, based on how the given provider has chosen to cope with such messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Website Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is pre-activated for all domain names that are hosted in a shared website hosting account on our cloud web hosting platform, so you won’t have to do anything on your end to enable it. The sole condition is that the particular domain name should be hosted in a website hosting account on our platform using our MX and NS resource records, so that the e-mail messages will go through our mail servers. The private key will be created on the server and the TXT record, which contains the public key, will be published to the global Domain Name System automatically, so you won’t have to do anything manually on your end in order to activate this feature. The DomainKeys Identified Mail validation system will permit you to send out trustable e-mails, so if you’re sending offers or a newsletter to customers, for instance, your emails will always reach their target viewers, whereas unsolicited 3rd parties will not be able to forge your email addresses.
