Google Apps adds DKIM email signing to help fight spam

That battle against spam is a never ending one for sysadmins, and Google has announced that they're giving Apps admins a brand new weapon: DKIM, or Domain Keys Identified Mail. DKIM allows administrators to validate outgoing email messages with a digital signature, and Google is making it available to all Apps customers at no cost. Enabling DKIM on your domain is as simple as a few mouse clicks in your control panel. Once you've got access to the feature, it should appear on your dashboard under the advanced tools tab.

Kelly Wasner, CEO of eCert Systems, calls Google's DKIM option "the simplest [solution] that we've encountered." He adds, "Configuring DKIM for in-house systems requires plug-ins or additional gateway servers, making a company's mail environment more complex and difficult to manage. As a Google Apps customer, this feature took us only a few clicks in the control panel and an update of our DNS." That's pretty lofty praise, considering eCert is a key player in the digital trust and data protection business.
