Hi Martijn,


I investigated in this case just once more.

My email client understands S/MIME as long ciphermail is offline and not 
decrypting opaquely encrypted Mails. So if I send encrypted and signed mails 
from Outlook directly into my inbox, everything is fine. Only if Ciphermail is 
decrypting, my email client can't read the mail anymore.



Do you see a chance for upcoming versions of Ciphermail to decrypt opaquely 
encrypted signed mails into clear text signed mails or give somehow the 
configuration option?



Best regards,



Andreas

Hi Andreas,

My guess is that the emails are not encrypted by opaque signed. S/MIME
signing supports two types of encoding: clear text and opaque. With
opaque signed email you need a mail client which understands S/MIME
signed email. Unfortunately some email clients like for example Outlook
use opaque signing when the email is encrypted. After decryption the
resulting email is therefore opaquely signed. If you mail client does
not support S/MIME you will only see an attachment names smime.p7m.

You can configure the gateway to remove the signature by enabling the
S/MIME advanced setting "Remove signature". This will then convert the
smime.p7m attachment to a normal email.

Unfortunately at the moment this will remove the signature from all
S/MIME emails, i.e., also from the clear signed emails and not just
from the opaque signed emails.

Kind regards,

Martijn Brinkers
