CREATE DKIM KEYS and DNS Resource Record:
|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
|
||||
To create DomainKeys Identified Mail keys, visit:
|
||||
http://dkim.worxware.com/
|
||||
... read the information, fill in the form, and download the ZIP file
|
||||
containing the public key, private key, DNS Resource Record and instructions
|
||||
to add to your DNS Zone Record, and the PHPMailer code to enable DKIM
|
||||
digital signing.
|
||||
|
||||
/*** PROTECT YOUR PRIVATE & PUBLIC KEYS ***/
|
||||
|
||||
You need to protect your DKIM private and public keys from being viewed or
|
||||
accessed. Add protection to your .htaccess file as in this example:
|
||||
|
||||
# secure htkeyprivate file
|
||||
<Files .htkeyprivate>
|
||||
order allow,deny
|
||||
deny from all
|
||||
</Files>
|
||||
|
||||
# secure htkeypublic file
|
||||
<Files .htkeypublic>
|
||||
order allow,deny
|
||||
deny from all
|
||||
</Files>
|
||||
|
||||
(the actual .htaccess additions are in the ZIP file sent back to you from
|
||||
http://dkim.worxware.com/
|
||||
|
||||
A few notes on using DomainKey Identified Mail (DKIM):
|
||||
|
||||
You do not need to use PHPMailer to DKIM sign emails IF:
|
||||
- you enable DomainKey support and add the DNS resource record
|
||||
- you use your outbound mail server
|
||||
|
||||
If you are a third-party emailer that works on behalf of domain owners to
|
||||
send their emails from your own server:
|
||||
- you absolutely have to DKIM sign outbound emails
|
||||
- the domain owner has to add the DNS resource record to match the
|
||||
private key, public key, selector, identity, and domain that you create
|
||||
- use caution with the "selector" ... at least one "selector" will already
|
||||
exist in the DNS Zone Record of the domain at the domain owner's server
|
||||
you need to ensure that the "selector" you use is unique
|
||||
Note: since the IP address will not match the domain owner's DNS Zone record
|
||||
you can be certain that email providers that validate based on DomainKey will
|
||||
check the domain owner's DNS Zone record for your DNS resource record. Before
|
||||
sending out emails on behalf of domain owners, ensure they have entered the
|
||||
DNS resource record you provided them.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!
