Webmail Messenger: Introduction Pro/Ent only

Important

It is highly recommended to use the “Webmail Messenger setup wizard” for configuring the gateway for Webmail Messenger support.

CipherMail Webmail Messenger is a webmail add-on to the gateway. If the rules on the gateway determine that a message must be encrypted, and S/MIME, PGP or PDF encryption is not available (for example because there is no certificate for a recipient), the email will be sent to Webmail Messenger via an S/MIME secured tunnel. The recipient gets a notification that a new message is available. The first time the user receives a message, the user needs to select a secure password. The user can read and reply to the message using any web browser.

Note
