DomainKeys Identified Mail, or DKIM, is a method for validating the legitimacy of an email message by using an e-signature. When DKIM is enabled for a certain domain, a public cryptographic key is published to the global DNS system and a private one is kept on the mail server. When a new email is sent, a signature is generated using the private key and when the message is received, the signature is verified by the POP3/IMAP email server using the public key. Thus, the receiver can easily tell if the email is authentic or if the sender’s email address has been forged. A discrepancy will occur if the content of the email has been changed on its way 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 added or removed. This validation system will boost your email security, since you can verify the authenticity of the important email messages that you get and your colleagues can do likewise with the email messages that you send them. Depending on the particular email service provider’s policy, an email that fails the examination may be removed or may emerge in the receiver’s inbox with a warning flag.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Website Hosting

You will be able to take advantage of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each website hosting that we are offering without the need to do anything specific, since the required records for using this authentication system are set up automatically by our hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the domain name in question uses our NS records, a private cryptographic key will be generated and kept on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the DNS system. In case you send periodic email messages to clients or business partners, they will always be received and no unsolicited person will be able to spoof your address and make it seem like you have written a certain email message.
