I just asked reflexion to send me an encrypted mail to test some of
this.

They indeed send an email with an embedded link asking the user to go to
a web site to retrieve the actual content. But they don't send any
password in the email. I needed to "register" with them by picking my
own password, and could then read the mail. So anyone that can intercept
that first message owns that mail address as far as reflexion is
concerned. Also anyone that can guess what password the user picked.

This particular message expires in two weeks, so presumably anyone that
grabs an entire mailbox won't be able to see very old messages, even if
they know the key.

It was dkim signed, but dkim=fail reason="key not found in DNS". It was
signed with s=default d=securemail.reflexion.net, so that should be

dig default._domainkey.securemail.reflexion.net txt +short

if I have done that correctly.
