Implementing DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) can protect companies that are susceptible to phishing and spoofing attacks. Companies can sign all of their outgoing emails with DKIM and publish their policies so that ISPs can watch and block any messages that claim to come from their domains that are unsigned. DKIM also examines the integrity of the message body. DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) lets an organization take responsibility for a message while it is in transit. The organization is a handler of the message, either as its originator or as an intermediary. Their reputation is the basis for evaluating whether to trust the message for delivery. Technically DKIM provides a method for validating a domain name identity that is associated with a message through cryptographic authentication. visit for more information : http://www.dkim.org/info/dkim-faq.html
