DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email validation system used to verify that an e-mail message has been sent by an authenticated mail server or individual. An e-signature is added to the header of the email message using a private encryption key. When the email message is received, a public key that is available in the global Domain Name System is used to confirm who exactly sent it and if the content has been modified in any way. The principal job of DomainKeys Identified Mail is to hamper the widely spread spam and scam emails, as it makes it impossible to fake an email address. If an email message is sent from an address claiming to belong to your bank, for example, but the signature does not match, you will either not get the email at all, or you’ll get it with a warning note that most probably it’s not legitimate. It depends on mail service providers what exactly will happen with an email which fails to pass the signature check. DomainKeys Identified Mail will also provide you with an extra safety layer when you communicate with your business allies, for example, as they can see that all the e-mails that you send are legitimate and haven’t been meddled with on their way.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to make use of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every cloud hosting that we are offering without doing anything in particular, as the needed records for using this email validation system are created automatically by our website hosting platform when you add a domain name to an existing hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the specific domain uses our name server records, a private encryption key will be created and stored on our mail servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the global DNS system. In case you send out periodic email messages to customers or business associates, they’ll always be received and no unauthorized person will be able to spoof your email address and make it seem like you have written a given message.
