First, sorry to bother the list with this question - but I have been searching for hours trying to figure this out and haven't found it. Maybe one of you can help me.
I am interested in setting up either DKIM or DomainKeys to work with my QMT. I'm not sure I care which one as I think that either will help me with Yahoo. Here's what I don't understand. DNS for my domain is NOT performed by the QMT, but by HostGator where the website for the domain in question is hosted. When I send an email with the public key in the header, will the receiving server authenticate with HostGator (because they are the DNS for this domain) or will the authentication process happen when my QMT and the receiving server are talking to each other during the email transmission process? To further complicate, my QMT forwards through my ISP's email server. Will that muddy things at all? I'm not sure whether the private key should be on my QMT or on HostGator. If HostGator, they haven't been helpful so far. I have DomainKeys enabled for my site on HostGator, but they don't give me access to the public key to put that into my QMT email header. Any help would be very much appreciated. Regards, Todd PS, if someone hits me with a quick link to the answer to my question I am going to surrender my right to use Google as I have been inept at uncovering the secret myself.
