DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email authentication system used to verify that an e-mail has been sent by an authorized mail server or individual. An e-signature is attached to the header of the email message using a private cryptographic key. When the email is received, a public key that is available in the global Domain Name System is used to check who actually sent it and if its content has been modified in any way. The prime task of DKIM is to stop the widespread spam and scam messages, as it makes it impossible to forge an email address. If a message is sent from an email address claiming to belong to your bank, for example, but the signature does not correspond, you will either not receive the message at all, or you’ll get it with a warning note that most likely it is not authentic. It depends on email service providers what exactly will happen with an email that fails the signature test. DomainKeys Identified Mail will also provide you with an added layer of security when you communicate with your business allies, for instance, as they can see for themselves that all the emails that you send are authentic and haven’t been manipulated in the meantime.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Website Hosting
You will be able to take advantage of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every shared website hosting that we’re offering without having to do anything specific, as the needed records for using this email validation system are created automatically by our web hosting platform when you add a domain to an existing account via the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the domain in question uses our NS records, a private key will be issued and kept on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. If you send out regular messages to clients or business allies, they’ll always be received and no unsolicited person will be able to forge your email address and make it seem like you have composed a particular email message.
