DomainKeys Identified Mail, or DKIM, is a method for validating the genuineness of an email using an electronic signature. When DKIM is enabled for a specific domain, a public cryptographic key is published to the global DNS database and a private one is stored on the mail server. When a new email is sent, a signature is issued using the private key and when the email message is delivered, that signature is validated by the POP3/IMAP server using the public key. In this way, the receiver can easily know if the email is authentic or if the sender’s email address has been forged. A discrepancy will appear if the content of the email has been modified on its way as well, so DomainKeys Identified Mail can also be used to make sure that the sent and the received messages are identical and that nothing has been added or erased. This email authentication system will increase your email safety, as you can verify the legitimacy of the important emails that you get and your colleagues can do the same with the email messages that you send them. Based on the given mail service provider’s adopted policies, an email message that fails the examination may be deleted or may emerge in the recipient’s mailbox with a warning sign.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Web Hosting

You will be able to get the most out of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every web hosting that we offer without the need to do anything specific, since the compulsory records for using this validation system are created automatically by our web hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel. If the given domain uses our name server records, a private cryptographic key will be generated and stored on our email servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the global DNS system. In case you send regular email messages to clients or business associates, they’ll always be delivered and no unsolicited person will be able to forge your email address and make it look like you’ve written a given message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail feature comes by default with any domain name that’s added to a semi-dedicated server account with our company. It should also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are handled by our system. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT record to be set up, which is in fact the public cryptographic key that confirms if a given message is genuine or not. This record is created once a brand-new domain name is registered in a semi-dedicated server account via the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is generated on our email servers. If you make use of our email and web hosting services, your messages will always reach their target viewers and you will not have to worry about unauthorized individuals spoofing your email addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something rather important in case you use emails to get in touch with your business partners.
