I can see whether I can make it optional (default off) to add checks to
make sure the email is only delivered in decrypted form if the email
address matches the certificate used for decryption. There are a couple
of problems that need to be solved.

** Start of technical stuff you can skip if you are not interested **

A message can have multiple recipients so the message should be split if
encrypted into multiple recipients. It's also unclear how to handle
domain encryption. Domain encryption is used by companies to setup a
secure S/MIME tunnel. It currently is not clear whether the certificate
was intended as a domain certificate so if additional checks are
required to make sure only the intended recipients can read the message
the receiving gateway should know whether the certificate is a domain
certificate. Another option would be to completely disable domain
encryption if the additional checks are enabled because you probably
don't want domain encryption in that case.

Kind regards,

Martijn
