If you select the certificates and click "download keys" it will download the keys but if you select "download certificates" it will only download the certificates (without the keys). All the certificates for all your internal users should be exchanged between clients. The easiest way to do this is by selecting all the certificates for your users, and then click "download certificates". This will give you a .p7b file containing all certificates. This .p7b file can then be imported into every desktop. > > 2) Is there any way to prevent Djigzo from DEcrypting incoming > messages? If all users are external users (the default), then no email will be decrypted. Incoming email is split into two paths, for internal recipients email will be decrypted, for external recipients email will be encrypted. If you do not make any domain or user an internal user, no email will be decrypted. > Essentially, here's what I'm looking for: -- All messages in a user's > mail folders are SMIME encrypted. -- Any incoming mail that is SMIME > encrypted for that user passes untouched. > -- Any incoming mail that is unencrypted is encrypted by Djigzo > using the user's own key. -- Any outgoing mail that is encrypted is > untouched -- Any outgoing mail that is unencrypted is untouched. > > I think that Djigzo ends up being total overkill in this situation? I have been thinking about such a use case as well because it can be used to store all email encrypted in your local mailbox. This is kind of different from the typical use case of the Djigzo gateway. If you make sure that every user is an external user, this should work since all incoming email for some internal user will be encrypted if it is not already encrypted (if setup to encrypt all email for certain users). How are your internal users going to send encrypted email to each other? Using the S/MIME functionality of the email client?
