ThinkDKIM for IIS SMTP

Nowadays emails are not just a way of communicating, but also a widely used spread channel for malware, advertising and so on. Consequently, digitally signing emails is surely not a bad idea, as it can make their contents trustworthy and, thus, improve or preserve the reputation of the sender.

ThinkDKIM for IIS SMTP delivers a reliable method to digitally sign emails you send via IIS SMTP. Designed for Server editions of Windows, it can get both the origin and the integrity of a message verified. Needless to say, the IIS SMTP service must be installed as a prerequisite for this application.

But how does it work?

A DKIM (short for DomainKeys Identified Mail) signature adds a header to the message content using a private key. The all-popular mail servers, such as Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail match this private key to the public key they receive from a DNS TXT record. This way, the origin of the message and its authenticity are verified.

Not just that ThinkDKIM for IIS SMTP makes the content of the email trustworthy, but it also prevents emails from being automatically sent to the spam folder in the recipient’s mailbox. In other words, you can use it to make sure your message gets to its final destination as planned.

Digitally signing your emails with ThinkDKIM for IIS SMTP can improve your reputation in a world where email fraud might easily jeopardize an organization’s brand.
