Developed by leading companies such as Yahoo!, Cisco, Sendmail and PGP Corporation,
this technology improves email safety by identifying fraudulent emails and phishing
activities.
In joint effort, these companies have created a new safety standard in order to
protect users from fraudulent activities. The DomainKeys Identified Mail - DKIM
- standard embeds signature authentication into senders' domains and has already
been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force - IETF -, the international
community concerned with Internet related standards, education and policy.
How does it work?
It's simple. For example, when PayPal sends an email to a user, the company's
server will automatically embed a digital signature into the original message. Now,
let's suppose that the recipient owns a Yahoo Mail address: Yahoo Email Servers
will be able to instantly verify that the message has been sent by PayPal by inspecting
the digital signature embedded in the email. If the digital signature cannot be
verified, then the email is probably spam or phishing.
The DomainKeys Identified Mail - DKIM - system has both a public and a private
key. The public key consists in the domain's DNS, and the private one is used to
digitally sign the emails. Once the public and the private keys are verified, the
email authentication is issued and, the email is then delivered to the recipient's
inbox.
As a result of our constant evolution, Doppler allows you to apply DKIM to your
email.
How to link DomainKeys to Doppler?
It's easy, go to your Control Panel and click on "DomainKeys". Once the registration
form is completed and approved, Doppler will render some TXT registries to be pasted
on your Domain Name Servers.
Once the registries have been added, you will be able to activate your DomainKeys
from your Control Panel.
