MX (Mail Exchanger) records are used in DNS to specify the mail servers responsible for receiving email on behalf of a domain. They play a critical role in ensuring that incoming emails are correctly routed to the domain’s email servers.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) provides an encryption key and digital signature that verify that an email message was not altered in transit, helping to improve the trustworthiness of the email and reducing the chance of it being marked as spam.

MX (Mail Exchanger) records are used to specify the mail servers responsible for receiving email on behalf of a domain. By setting up an MX record, a company ensures that any emails sent to their domain are correctly directed to their designated email server.

TXT records are versatile and can be used for various purposes, including providing digital signatures for email verification methods such as DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). DKIM uses a TXT record to store a public key that recipients can use to verify the sender’s domain.

CNAME (Canonical Name) records are used to alias one domain name to another. They are ideal for temporarily pointing a domain to a new host during migrations or maintenance without altering the domain’s A or AAAA records directly.

An SPF record is a list of all the email servers authorized to send messages using a fully qualified domain name, helping prevent spoofing of the domain name.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that helps to prevent email spoofing by specifying which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of a domain. This improves email deliverability and the domain’s reputation.

An A (Address) record in DNS maps a domain to the IP address of the web server hosting that domain. It’s essential for ensuring that users who type the domain name into their web browsers are directed to the correct server.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a DNS record that helps to ensure email integrity and authenticity by allowing the receiver to check that an email claimed to have come from a specific domain was indeed authorized by the owner of that domain.

The A record in DNS is used to associate a domain name with an IP address.

An AAAA record in DNS is used to point a domain to an IPv6 address, enabling the website hosted on that domain to support IPv6 connectivity.
