=========================================

To create DomainKeys Identified Mail keys, visit:

http://dkim.worxware.com/

... read the information, fill in the form, and download the ZIP file
7
containing the public key, private key, DNS Resource Record and instructions
8
to add to your DNS Zone Record, and the PHPMailer code to enable DKIM
11
/*** PROTECT YOUR PRIVATE & PUBLIC KEYS ***/
13
You need to protect your DKIM private and public keys from being viewed or
14
accessed. Add protection to your .htaccess file as in this example:
16
# secure htkeyprivate file
22
# secure htkeypublic file
28
(the actual .htaccess additions are in the ZIP file sent back to you from
29
http://dkim.worxware.com/

A few notes on using DomainKey Identified Mail (DKIM):
33
You do not need to use PHPMailer to DKIM sign emails IF:
34
- you enable DomainKey support and add the DNS resource record
35
- you use your outbound mail server
37
If you are a third-party emailer that works on behalf of domain owners to
38
send their emails from your own server:
39
- you absolutely have to DKIM sign outbound emails
40
- the domain owner has to add the DNS resource record to match the
41
private key, public key, selector, identity, and domain that you create
42
- use caution with the "selector" ... at least one "selector" will already
43
exist in the DNS Zone Record of the domain at the domain owner's server
44
you need to ensure that the "selector" you use is unique
45
Note: since the IP address will not match the domain owner's DNS Zone record
46
you can be certain that email providers that validate based on DomainKey will
47
check the domain owner's DNS Zone record for your DNS resource record. Before
48
sending out emails on behalf of domain owners, ensure they have entered the
49
DNS resource record you provided them.
