Exporting the certificates does not prompt for a password. Trying to import the p7b into Thunderbird prompted for a password. >> 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.

How are your internal users going to send encrypted email to > each other? Using the S/MIME functionality of the email client? Yes this is the assumption. If the users import "all" of the certificates, then wouldn't they be able to encrypt email going to another user? If the user Johnny sends an unencrypted email to the user Sammy on the same server, but they are both "external" users, isn't Djigzo going to encrypt the incoming message?
EX: Sammy sends email to Johnny unencrypted. Djigzo will use Johnny's key to encrypt the message before it is passed along to Johnny? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.djigzo.com/lists/listinfo/users
