DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email authentication system used to prove that an email has been sent by an authenticated person or email server. An e-signature is added to the header of the message using a private key. When the message is received, a public key that’s available in the global Domain Name System is used to validate who actually sent it and whether its content has been edited in any way. The fundamental task of DKIM is to obstruct the widespread spam and scam email messages, as it makes it impossible to fake an email address. If an email message is sent from an email address claiming to belong to your bank or financial institution, for example, but the signature does not correspond, you will either not receive the message at all, or you’ll receive it with a notification that most probably it is not genuine. It depends on email service providers what exactly will happen with an email that fails to pass the signature check. DKIM will also offer you an added protection layer when you communicate with your business partners, for instance, as they can see for themselves that all the email messages that you exchange are genuine and have not been modified in the meantime.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Web Hosting

As long as the given domain uses our name server records, a private 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 emails to clients or business collaborators, they’ll always be delivered and no unauthorized person will be able to forge your email address and make it seem like you’ve written a certain message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The latter is needed for a TXT record to be set up for the domain name, since this is how the public cryptographic key can become available in the global DNS database. The private key will also be added automatically to our mail servers, so whenever you send out a new email message, it will include our system’s electronic signature. The number of unsolicited bulk messages continues to grow each year and rather frequently false addresses are used, but if you make use of our hosting services, you and your clients or partners won’t have to bother about that.
