ChurchPost messages now authenticated via DKIM
Apr 13th, 2008 by dlgerber
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) uses digital, cryptographic signatures, attaching information to a new header field in the message.
Since January, AOL, Yahoo and Google have been using DKIM to authenticate their inbound messages.
While authentication protocols like DKIM do not guarantee deliverability, they are a critical step to making sure your message gets through. So rest assured that your ChurchPost messages are being sent from mail servers that are monitored 24/7 and utilize the latest technology to ensure deliverability.
And because ISPs like AOL and others take into account BOTH IP-based reputation and domain based reputation, ChurchPost also utilizes SPF (Sender Policy Framework) authentication, so your recipients know they are reading messages from the IP/domain that it purports to be from.
For those interested, there is a fantastic white paper entitled “Trust in Email Begins with Authentication” available from the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group at:

Happy sending!
