The subject triggers will only check the subject of the email. Depending on the configuration, the match will either be done on some static string or a regular expression. With the subject trigger, the trigger can be removed from the subject if enabled. The Force encrypt and Force signing trigger can be used to trigger on some email header with some value. This can for example be used if you have some automated system which sends email and you want certain emails to be encrypted. Or, if you have some plugin for your email client (for example Zimbra) and want to enable encryption when the user selects some option. > So the question is, if one has S/MIME enabled, and a valid > certificate in place, how do you trigger encryption when "Encryption > Mode" is set to "No Encryption" ? If you want to allow the user to add something to the subject which then should trigger encryption, use the "Encryption subject trigger". If you have some plugin which can add a header when a "encrypt" button is pressed, you might use the "Force encrypt trigger". > If OpenPGP is enabled then will > CipherMail select based on whether the recipient supports S/MIME or > OpenPGP by checking whether a certificate is in the store ? If the recipient has a valid S/MIME certificate and S/MIME is enabled for the sender and recipient, the message will be S/MIME encrypted. If not and the recipient has a trusted PGP key and PGP is enabled for sender and recipient, the message will be PGP encrypted. For the complete decision process, see the mail flow in the appendix of the administration guide.
