Initial situation:
The SEPPmail Secure E-Mail Gateway is to issue a reliable read confirmation when requesting GINA via the corresponding Subject Line Keyword as is the case when triggering via the Microsoft Outlook Add-In.
Solution:
Issuing the reliable read confirmation can be implemented
•globally for each GINA domain in the detail settings Extended settings Sender receives notification when recipient reads GINA mails
•for each User in whose detail setting are set to User data Notifications
Irrespective of the above-mentioned settings, the reliable read confirmation is always enforced if a read confirmation (disposition-notification-to header) has been requested with the sent email in addition to GINA.
The MS Outlook Add-In requests both if the button "Encryption with read confirmation" is pressed.
If MS Outlook is not used for writing emails or if the MS Outlook Add-In is not available, the corresponding keyword for the GINA encryption (by default [priv]) is to be entered in the subject line of the email, and the read confirmation is to be requested via the corresponding menu of the email client.
Alternatively, when requesting the GINA encryption via the subject line keywords, the disposition-notification-to header can generally be set centrally via Custom commands. The corresponding code would have to be placed under Custom commands for outgoing e-mails BEFORE encryption: and could take the following form:
Line |
Code |
|---|---|
01 |
# Begin: Custom Commands For Outgoing Emails BEFORE Encryption |
02 |
log(1,'Begin: Custom commands for outgoing e-mails BEFORE encryption'); |
|
|
03 |
# Begin: Requesting read receipt, when GINA is triggered |
04 |
log(1,'Begin: Requesting read receipt, when GINA is triggered'); |
|
|
05 |
if(compare('subject','match','\[priv\]')) { |
06 |
if (!compare('disposition-notification-to','match','*.')) { |
07 |
setheader('disposition-notification-to','$header_from'); |
09 |
} |
10 |
} |
|
|
11 |
log(1,'End: Requesting read receipt, when GINA is triggered'); |
12 |
# End: Requesting read receipt, when GINA is triggered |
|
|
13 |
log(1,'End: Custom commands for outgoing e-mails BEFORE encryption'); |
14 |
# End: Custom Commands For Outgoing Emails BEFORE Encryption |
Description
In this example, it is initially checked whether the subject line keyword for the GINA encryption is set (line 05). If this is the case, it is checked whether the read confirmation has already been requested (line 06). If not, the disposition-notification-to header is set with the sender from the From header of the email as recipient of the read confirmation (line 07).
