How to use DomainKeys Signature

DomainKeys is a technology proposal that can bring black and white back to this decision process by giving email providers a mechanism for verifying both the domain of each email sender and the integrity of the messages sent. To learn more detail about DomainKeys, please refer to http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys

DKIM is a similar technology as Domainkeys. To learn more detail about DKIM, please refer to RFC4871.

Now, EmailArchitect Server provides a way to add DomainKeys signature and DKIM signature to outgoing email.

Make key-pair certificate

First of all, we need to generate a certificate which contains public key/private key. We can use MakeCert.exe (.NET Framework Tools) to generate certificate like this:

makecert -pe -n "CN=mydomainkeys" -ss my -sr LocalMachine -a sha1 -sky signature -r

Then you can check the certficate like this:

Windows Start Menu->input:
MMC

press enter.

MMC->File Menu->Add/Remove Span-in
Add->Choose "Certificates"-> Computer Account->Local Machine->Finish->Close.

Then you should find the certificate at
"Certificates(Local Computer)->Personal->Certificates"

You can also use this online tool to generate the certificate
http://mail.adminsystem.com/getpfx/getpfx.aspx

Create X-DK-File

To sign the DomainKeys with EmailArchitect Server, we need to create a text file with notepad. and save it.

For example:
We create a adminsystem.com.domainkey.txt and contains the following content.

dk_d: adminsystem.com
dk_s: s1024
CertStore: machine
CertStoreName: my
CertSubjectName: mydomainkeys
DKIMSupport: yes
method: nofws

dk_d is the email sender domain,
dk_s is the domain public key  selector.
CertSubjectName is the keyword in certificate subject.
If DKIMSupport is "yes", then DKIM signature will be added as well.
If method is "simple", then Domainkeys/DKIM signature uses "simple" algorithm;
If method is "nofws", then Domainkeys/DKIM signature uses "nofws/relaxed" algorithm;

You can also export the certificate with MMC. If importing private key is chosen, the *.pfx will be generated.

then the adminsystem.com.domainkey.txt should contain the following content
dk_d: adminsystem.com
dk_s: s1024
PFXPath: c:\my cert\adminsystem.pfx
PFXPassword: mypassword
DKIMSupport: yes
method: simple

dk_d is the email sender domain,
dk_s is the domain public key  selector.
PFXPath is the PFX file full path.
PFXPassword is the PFX file password.
If DKIMSupport is "yes", then DKIM signature will be added as well.
If method is "simple", then Domainkeys/DKIM signature uses "simple" algorithm;
If method is "nofws", then Domainkeys/DKIM signature uses "nofws/relaxed" algorithm;

Finally, we just need to copy this file to EmailArchitect Server installation path\domainkeys folder. EmailArchitect Server will generate the DomainKeys signature and DKIM signature for email from domain “adminsystem.com” automatically. The file name syntax must be “[domain name].domainkey.txt”.

Deploy Public Key

We also need to deploy the certificate Public Key to your domain DNS server. You can use the online tool http://emailarchitect.com/live/getpublickey.aspx to export the Public Key of your certificate.

Once you get the public key, you should set a TXT record in your domain DNS server. For example: your selector is s1024, your domain is adminsystem.com, then you should create a TXT record for s1024._domainkey.adminsystem.com and set the following content in the record.

s1024._domainkey.adminsystem.com       text =

        "t=y; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCmKsozkVJqlNAGsvn1LoJPmoZl8nizv6pIuOV5P
44E8C6Vbl4DW8p0Bb5Zg8EgpYRgsEiJX5pYDj67YzzXNIhViziHwQ3jbUedxNkw/6GV4ZX8aRJKJnwnYqGWIQ8tQESwQtywfduQ2
TjsS1aG3XeOgxxEeuhBNaZHQWVThSinuQIDAQAB"

To learn more detail about Public Key deployment, please refer to http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys

Test DomainKeys and DKIM

You just need to send an email to check-auth@verifier.port25.com, then a report will be send back to your sender email address.

Remarketing – Target your ads to specific audiences

What is remarketing and why should I use it?

Remarketing is a feature of interest-based advertising available in the Audiences tab. Remarketing allows you to reach people who previously visited your website, and match the right people with the right message. You can show users these messages as they browse sites across the Google Content Network.

Let’s say you are an online retailer who sells printers and TVs. You can show TV ads to those people who visited the TV section, and you can cross-sell, up-sell, and promote other relevant products: surround sound systems or DVD players, for example.

Here’s how it works: You add a piece of code (remarketing tag) to pages of your site that correspond to certain categories you want to promote. For example, adding a tag for “TV” on all of the pages where you sell TVs will let you later show relevant TV ads to everyone who visits those pages. Learn more about creating remarketing lists.

Who should use remarketing?

Remarketing is a tool that can drive ROI for all types of advertisers, regardless of the focus of your campaigns (brand-oriented, performance-driven, etc.) or your ad formats.

Search advertisers can use remarketing to create an integrated campaign strategy. After driving traffic to your site with search ads, you can then remarket to those users who reach your site by showing them tailored ads on sites throughout the Google Content Network.

When you combine your keyword campaigns with remarketing, you might see higher conversions for your campaigns overall. For example, if you have keywords that you don’t use because you haven’t seen conversions in the past, you can use these keywords to drive traffic to your site, and then remarket to the user to drive the conversion.

Whether you’re looking to drive sales activity on your site, increase registrations, or promote awareness of your brand, remarketing can be a strategic component of every campaign. Learn more about remarketing.
