Dear all,

I would like to know if it's possible to configure Djigzo en encrypt  
emails without signing it.  
We would need that because using "Company gateway" certificate to sign,  
the sender email adress is not the same as the email adress inside the  
"Company gateway" certificate, and it seems this create some "warning" on  
the recipient side SMIME product.

I look into the web interface and the Administration Guide, and I don't  
see any option to encrypt whithout signing.  
the option "Only Sign when encrypt" say : "messages will be signed only  
when encrypted , otherwise all messages will be signed."

Does anyone know if it's possible to not sign at all ?

Thank's

This is the downside of Gateway certificates, yes...

This means all messages will be signed if a matching certificate/key  
is available. So in your case Djigzo should not sign the mails as long  
as you don't have a matching sender mailaddress which you don't have  
with your gateway certificate. If it does sign with the gateway  
certificate/key you most likely have assigned it as "signing  
certificate" at domain level, no?

I think Andreas is right in that probably a signing certificate has been  
selected for the sender domain (i.e., for the domain technip.com). You  
can check whether a signing certificate is selected for the sender  
domain by opening the properties page for the domain, then click on  
"signing certificate". If a certificate is selected you can remove the  
selection by clicking "auto select certificate". "auto select  
certificate" for a domain will result in no certificate because there is  
no domain certificate available.

Kind regards,

Martijn Brinkers

Dear all,

Thank you very much for your 2 very fast answers.  
Of course the Martijn's solution is working perfectly 🙂

Sorry to have missed this Domain "signing certificate" options in web  
interface.

Thank you
