Stripping signatures

Hi,

now as I've found out, that "Locality" is the most important setting,
every thing works. I've one more question: Is it possible to strip
signatures from the incoming mails, so they do not appear to be signed?
I've seen this on other encryption gateways. This helps to avoid
confusion of internal Outlook users. They no logger get displayed a red
bar on signed messages when the certificate can not be verified.

TIA
Matthias

Yes this is one of the most important settings because it determines
whether a message will go through the encryption, signing pipeline or
through the decryption pipeline. The admin guide mentions that this is
an important preference but since the guide is long, it's easy to
overlook :slight_smile:

In deed ... I was pretty irritated when I noticed, that all incoming
mail was encrypted with my cert. Now I've set global "Locality" to
"external" and domain "Locality" to "internal" and every thing works as
expected.

Any other important things I should have a look at?

Two often overseen options:

If you want to sign outgoing email without encryption, look at the "only
sign when encrypt" option.

If you want to support PGP/Inline for incoming email, see the option
"Enable PGP/INLINE to internal"

Kind regards,
