Method for safe sending of emails

The invention relates to a method for email communication based on the exchange of MX-Records (Mail-Exchange-Records).
With the invention, those public MX-Records get controlled and verified by a more complex MXK-Record (Mail-Exchange-Key). Generating those keys can either be done by every person themselves or by a central position. These generated keys only need to be digitally signed by the service provider. The provider itself is not included in the process of generating the keys, which means he is not faced with additional expenses. Because no third party is required to generate the key, this method is an easy to use and secure method for the encryption and sending of emails.
With some modifications, this technique is also suitable for the encryption of telephone or SMS communication.
