Hello, we had to configure a ciphermail vm as an imap server, which is already working perfectly. Our problem is, that we have created the internal account guenther(a)in-put.de in the ciphermail webinterface and the corresponding imap account guenther. Then we uploaded the private gpg key and told ciphermail that it is a trusted key. When we now send an gpg encrypted email, the MPA log contains the following line: 14 Aug 2014 12:54:56 | INFO incoming; MailID: 7d8b2b64-9023-41e4-b415-c95f5a0f003c; Recipients: [guenther(a)in-put.de]; Originator: s.guenther(a)in-put.de; Sender: s.guenther(a)in-put.de; Remote address: 127.0.0.1; Subject: TEST A 9; Message-ID: \<53EC9567.2070502(a)in-put.de\>; (mitm.application.djigzo.james.mailets.Log) [Spool Thread #0] 14 Aug 2014 12:54:56 | INFO Subject filter is disabled for the sender; MailID: 7d8b2b64-9023-41e4-b415-c95f5a0f003c; Recipients: [guenther(a)in-put.de] (mitm.application.djigzo.james.mailets.Default) [Spool Thread #0] 14 Aug 2014 12:54:56 | INFO To internal recipient(s); MailID: 7d8b2b64-9023-41e4-b415-c95f5a0f003c; Recipients: [guenther(a)in-put.de] (mitm.application.djigzo.james.mailets.Default) [Spool Thread #0] 14 Aug 2014 12:54:57 | INFO Message handling is finished.

Probably it is just a single option that is missing, but which is it? Thanks for any hints, Stefan ---

Could it be that the message is PGP/INLINE encrypted (as opposed to PGP/MIME) and you did not select "Incoming PGP/INLINE enabled"?
