DomainKeys is a technology proposal that can bring black and white back to this decision process by giving email providers a mechanism for verifying both the domain of each email sender and the integrity of the messages sent. To learn more detail about DomainKeys, please refer to http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys
DKIM is a similar technology as Domainkeys. To learn more detail about DKIM, please refer to RFC4871.
Now, EmailArchitect Server provides a way to add DomainKeys signature and DKIM signature to outgoing email.
Make key-pair certificate
First of all, we need to generate a certificate which contains public key/private
key. You can use this online tool to generate the certificate
https://www.emailarchitect.net/certs/getpfx.aspx
Create X-DK-File
To sign the DomainKeys with EmailArchitect Server, we need to create a text file with notepad. and save it.
For example: We create a adminsystem.com.domainkey.txt and contains the following content. dk_d: adminsystem.com dk_s: s1024 PFXPath: c:\my cert\adminsystem.pfx PFXPassword: mypassword dk_d is the email sender domain, dk_s is the domain public key selector. PFXPath is the PFX file full path. PFXPassword is the PFX file password set when you download it (Default is "TMP001").
Finally, we just need to copy this file to EmailArchitect Server installation path\domainkeys folder. EmailArchitect Server will generate the DomainKeys signature and DKIM signature for email from domain "adminsystem.com" automatically. The file name syntax must be "[domain name].domainkey.txt".
Deploy Public Key
We also need to deploy the certificate Public Key to your domain DNS server. You can use the online tool https://www.emailarchitect.net/certs/getpublickey.aspx to export the Public Key of your certificate.
Once you get the public key, you should set a TXT record in your domain DNS server. For example: your selector is s1024, your domain is adminsystem.com, and then you should create a TXT record for s1024._domainkey.adminsystem.com and set the following content in the record.
s1024._domainkey.adminsystem.com text =
"t=y; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCmKsozkVJqlNAGsvn1LoJPmoZl8nizv6pIuOV5P
