DomainKeys Identified Email (DKIM)DKIM is an email authentication method to verify that an email with From abc@yourdomain.com really came from you. DKIM detects forged sender addresses in emails (spoofing). DKIM helps to prevent phishing and email spam. How does DKIM work?DKIM uses cryptography and Domain Name System (DNS) records. You first configure yourdomain.com to store a public key in its DNS records. When Activity Messenger sends an email from @yourdomain.com, it will affix a digital signature encrypted with a private key. When an email client like Gmail and Outlook receives an email from @yourdomain, it will verify the signature against the public key published on your domain's DNS record. The email is legitimate if they match. How to configure DKIM for your domain?Activity Messenger makes it easy to configure DKIM for your domain. Go to the page Set your From Email page and enter your domain address. Activity Messenger will generate the DKIM DNS records to add to your domain. You can download a CSV file to send to your web administrator. If you have access to your domain's DNS records, you can do it yourself. Once DKIM DNS records are in place, you can specify From email addresses you want to use. Activity Messenger will verify each email by sending you a confirmation email. From email addresses will then be available for you to use in any email you send. |
