That also implies the growth of abuse both in terms of quantity and its variations.

And that is what we strive for.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="spam-monitoring-of-me-domains">How Does Spam Monitoring of .ME Domains Work?</h2> <p>When monitoring for spam, a mail server usually has an algorithm that checks if the email is spam or not. A part of that algorithm is checking publicly available <a href="https://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/">databases of blacklisted domains</a>. If your domain name gets on that list, every email will go to spam. <strong>The more these blacklisted domain names have the same domain extension (TLD), the more chance that the domains with that extension will be marked as <a href="https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/">spammy too</a></strong><a href="https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/">.</a></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="613" src="https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-Does-Spam-Monitoring-of-.ME-Domains-Work-1024x613.png" alt="How Does Spam Monitoring of .ME Domains Work" class="wp-image-13208" srcset="https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-Does-Spam-Monitoring-of-.ME-Domains-Work-1024x613.png 1024w, https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-Does-Spam-Monitoring-of-.ME-Domains-Work-300x180.png 300w, https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-Does-Spam-Monitoring-of-.ME-Domains-Work-768x460.png 768w, https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-Does-Spam-Monitoring-of-.ME-Domains-Work.png 1513w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <div class="wp-block-subox-card-subox-s su-box su-box-style-default trap right" style="border-color:#292929;border-radius:3px"><div class="su-box-title" style="background-color:#333333;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px">If your domain ever accidentally gets on a blacklist, there is a way to get it back!

If you, as a human, see many spam emails coming from the same domain name extension <strong>you will certainly start to associate that extension with spammy behavior</strong>. You will start to avoid that domain name extension by default. </p> <p>At a certain point the number of blacklisted .ME domains started to grow and we decided it was time to do something about it. For us, the rating and truthfulness of our .ME users, are the most important part of our business. That’s why we started to work with blacklist services to suspend domains that are connected to spam and therefore discourage spam farms from registering .ME in the first place. Why invest money in a spam farm if you know you are going to get caught, right? </p> <p>It’s also important to know that if your domain ever accidentally gets on a blacklist, there is a way to get it back. Check <a href="https://www.rackaid.com/blog/email-blacklists/">this blogpost</a> on how to get your domain name un-suspended or <a href="/contact-me/">let us know</a> about it directly so our anti-abuse team can check.

This domain cannot be transferred, deleted or modified by any third party. </li> </ul> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-dnssec-works">How DNSSEC Works</h3> <p>One of the biggest problems that was discovered in the <a href="https://domain.me/what-is-dns/">Domain Name System</a>, a central and very old part of the Internet, is that, when you type a domain name in your browser, your computer doesn’t know where the answer is coming from and is not able to verify who sent the answer. This means that if your signal was intercepted on the way, or the response was intercepted, somebody else can send you a response, while you still believe you are dealing with a trusted source. One of the offered solutions, was to add an additional layer of security steps in form of <a href="https://domain.me/dnssec">Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)</a>. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="613" src="https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-DNSSEC-Works-1024x613.png" alt="How DNSSEC Works" class="wp-image-13206" srcset="https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-DNSSEC-Works-1024x613.png 1024w, https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-DNSSEC-Works-300x180.png 300w, https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-DNSSEC-Works-768x460.png 768w, https://domain.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/How-DNSSEC-Works.png 1513w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <p>So, <strong>DNSSEC</strong>, as we already established, <strong>is a technology-developed set of checks to protect us and the Domain Name System against malicious attacks, by digitally signing data so users are sure the answer they get from the DNS is valid</strong>. But how does it actually work? </p> <p>DNSSEC protects the Internet community by using a public key cryptography for digitally signing authoritative zone data and validating its destination. It means that, if we take our own example – <a href="http://www.domain.me">www.domain.me</a>, the response that comes to the user’s computer from the root name server on the question (where .ME name server is) includes a signature key from the .ME name server, verifying it’s authoritative. In case you are not confused by this and want to get even more technical, this is how DNSSEC works – in details. 🙂</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">How to Setup DNSSEC on your .ME Domain</h4> <p>Implementing DNSSEC requires several sides cooperating, as it has to be deployed through the chain of DNS servers. Managing the process on the authoritative side bears more difficulties, as zone signing procedure isn’t that simple. </p> <p>Luckily, because we are not all equally tech-savvy, domain registrars offer a simple process of deploying DNSSEC. Usually, it requires just switching DNSSEC ON on your DNS Management Page. If that is not the case, registrars offer DNSSEC support, so you can activate DNSSEC somewhere else and connect it to your domain using this DNSSEC support functionality with your registrar of choice.

It is expected that browsers (Chrome and Firefox) will have built-in DNSSEC validators so that over the time it becomes a security norm. The technology actually complements the results that SSL certificate brings, providing better safety for internet users. </p> <p>Of course, it does not solve all online security issues, but its contribution deserves the attention of webmasters and all those who are working towards making the internet a safer place. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="registry-lock">How Registry Lock Works</h3> <p>One additional measure, that we have seen big companies are using, is <a href="https://domain.me/registry-lock/">Registry Lock</a>.
