Preparing to add the DKIM signature to


outgoing messages
A DKIM signature for outgoing messages is a digital signature added to messages sent from email
addresses of a certain domain for purposes of identifying users by the name of the corporate domain.
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) technology combines several existing anti-phishing and anti-
spam methods to improve the quality of classification and identification of legitimate email. Instead
of a traditional IP address, DKIM technology adds a digital signature associated with the name of
the corporate domain to the message for the purpose of identifying its sender. The signature is
automatically verified on the recipient's side, after which white and black lists are used to
determine the sender's reputation.

You can configure the DKIM signature for messages in the web interface of Kaspersky Secure Mail
Gateway.

The process of configuring the DKIM signature for messages consists of the following steps:

1. Enabling the DKIM signature for outgoing messages.

2. Creating or importing a DKIM key.

3. Adding the DKIM signature to messages sent from email addresses in a specific domain.

For instructions on configuring the DKIM signature for messages via the web interface of
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway, see the Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway web interface help.

In order for the remote mail server to be able to verify the DKIM signature added to outgoing
messages, you need to obtain the DNS record of the public DKIM key via the web interface of
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway and add it to the settings of your DNS server.

To obtain the DNS record of the public DKIM key, do the following in the web interface
of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway:

1. In the main window of the application web interface, open the management console tree
and select the Domains section.

2. If the workspace shows the value of the DKIM signature setting as Disabled, do the
following:

The Creating DKIM signature for the domain window opens.

5. In the Selector field, type the name that will help you find the DKIM signature.

6. In the Key name list, select the DKIM key based on which the DKIM signature will be
added to messages.

7. Click OK.

The Creating DKIM signature for the domain window closes.

In the DKIM signature for messages from domain addresses section, the DNS record field
shows the DNS record of the public DKIM key for a specific domain.

To add a public DKIM key to the settings of your DNS server:

1. Sign in to your DNS server under the administrator account.

2. Locate the page with information on updating DNS records of the domain for whose
addresses you want to configure the DKIM signature to be added to outgoing messages.

For example, this page can be named "DNS Management", "Name Server Management",
or "Advanced Settings".

3. Find records in TXT format for the domain for whose addresses you want to configure the
DKIM signature to be added to outgoing messages.

4. In the list of records in TXT format, add the DNS record of the public DKIM key for a certain
domain with the following contents:

<selector>._domainkey.<name of the domain for which you want to add


the public DKIM key>. IN TXT ( "v=<DKIM version>; k=rsa; s=email"
"p=<DNS record of the public DKIM key>" )

DNS servers may differ slightly from the examples provided.

Preparing to configure TLS encryption


of the connection
TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol is a protocol for encrypting the connection between two
servers, which ensures secure transmission of data between network nodes on the Internet.

TLS session is a sequence of the following events:

1. The server from which email messages are sent (Client) establishes a connection to the
server to which email messages are sent (Server).

2. Servers start interacting via the SMTP protocol.

3. The Client uses the STARTTLS command to offer the Server to use TLS during SMTP
interaction.

4. If the Server is able to use TLS, it responds with the STARTTLS command and sends the
certificate of the Server to the Client.

5. The Client receives the certificate and, if the relevant parameter values are specified in it,
verifies the authenticity of the Server certificate.

6. The Client and the Server enable the data encryption mode.

7. The servers exchange data.

8. The session ends.

You can configure TLS security mode for situations when Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway
receives messages from another server (acts in the Server role) and sends messages to another
server (acts in the Client role), as well as configure TLS settings for individual domains and domain
groups that use the same IP address.

Preparing to perform certain tasks in the web interface of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway

109
You can create a TLS certificate or import it via the web interface of Kaspersky Secure Mail
Gateway.

For instructions on configuring TLS encryption between Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway and
other servers and on creating and importing the TLS certificate via the web interface of
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway, see the Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway web interface help.

Before importing TLS certificates via the web interface of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway, you
have to prepare them for import.

You can prepare certificates of the following types for import:

Self-signed TLS certificate

TLS certificate signed by a certification authority (hereinafter also CA certificate)

Self-signed certificates are normally used to test and debug SSL and TLS encryption of
connections. You are advised to use certificates signed by a certification authority (CA certificates)
on public servers.

Preparing a self-signed TLS certificate for


import
A self-signed TLS certificate intended to be imported into Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway must
meet the following requirements:

The certificate file must have a unique name in the list of certificates used in Kaspersky
Secure Mail Gateway.

The certificate file and the private key file must be in PEM format.

The key length must be 1024 bits or longer.

By way of an example, below are instructions on how to prepare for import the self-signed TLS
server certificate server_cert.pem, whose private key is contained in the key.pem file.

Preparing to perform certain tasks in the web interface of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway

110
To prepare a self-signed TLS certificate for import into Kaspersky Secure Mail
Gateway:
1. In the private key file, remove the password (if any) for accessing the certificate. To do so,
execute the command:

# openssl rsa -in <name of the private key file>.pem -out <name of
the private key file with the password removed>.pem

For example, you can execute the following command:

# openssl rsa -in key.pem -out key-nopass.pem

2. Combine the private key and the server certificate in a single file. To do so, execute the
command:

% cat <name of the private key file with the password removed>.pem
<name of the server certificate>.pem <name of the server
certificate after the files were combined>.pem

For example, you can execute the following command:

% cat key-nopass.pem server_cert.pem > cert.pem

The self-signed TLS certificate (for example, cert.pem) is ready for import into Kaspersky
Secure Mail Gateway.

Preparing to import a TLS certificate signed by a certification authority ................................... 111

Preparing to import a TLS certificate signed


by a certification authority
A TLS certificate signed by a certification authority (CA certificate) intended for import into
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway must meet the following requirements:

The certificate file must have a unique name in the list of certificates used in Kaspersky
Secure Mail Gateway.

The files of the server certificate, intermediate and root CA certificates, and the private key
file must be in PEM format.

Preparing to perform certain tasks in the web interface of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway

111
The key length must be 1024 bits or longer.

You must have the complete certificate chain the path from the server certificate to the
roof CA certificate.

On receiving the CA certificate, you may need to use the intermediate certificate in addition
to the server certificate.

Certificates must be specified in the certificate chain in the following order: first the server
certificate followed by intermediate CA certificates.

Intermediate certificates must not be skipped in the certificate chain.

The certificate chain must not include any certificates unrelated to current certification.

By way of an example, below are instructions on how to prepare for import a TLS server
certificate signed by a certification authority, server_cert.pem, whose private key is contained
in the key.pem file. The name of the intermediate server certificate is intermediate CA. The
name of the root certificate is root CA.

To prepare a TLS certificate signed by a certification authority for import into Kaspersky
Secure Mail Gateway:

1. In the file of the TLS certificate, remove the password (if any) for accessing the certificate.
To do so, execute the command:

# openssl rsa -in <name of the private key file>.pem -out <name of
the private key file with the password removed>.pem

For example, you can execute the following command:

# openssl rsa -in key.pem -out key-nopass.pem

2. Do one of the following:

If you are certain that the clients to which the server will provide this certificate have
their own copies of the root and intermediate CA certificates, combine the private key,
server certificate, intermediate and root CA certificates into a single file. To do so,
execute the command:

% cat <name of the private key file with the password


removed>.pem <name of the server certificate>.pem <name of the

Preparing to perform certain tasks in the web interface of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway

112
intermediate CA certificate>.pem <name of the root CA
certificate>.pem <name of the TLS certificate after the files
were combined>.pem

For example, you can execute the following command:

% cat key-nopass.pem server_cert.pem intermediate_CA.pem


root_CA.pem > cert.pem

If you are not sure that the clients to which the server will provide this certificate have
their own copies of the root and intermediate CA certificates, combine the private key
and server certificate into a single file. To do so, execute the command:

% cat <name of the private key file with the password


removed>.pem <name of the server certificate>.pem <name of the
server certificate after the files were combined>.pem

For example, you can execute the following command:

% cat key-nopass.pem server_cert.pem > cert.pem

The TLS certificate signed by the certification authority (for example, cert.pem) is ready for
import into Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway.
