I have been working through various tests of SPX Encryption and using the Outlook plugin on Outlook 2013. The configuration I am testing with has Outlook using an external IMAP host/account for incoming email and using the UTM as outgoing (SMTP).
Questions:
1: What is the minimal mail routing requirement for using SPX? Is it only that outgoing mail must go through the UTM - either through the client directly or if connected to Exchange, then Exchange must relay outgoing through the UTM?
2: If Outlook users send outgoing email through an Exchange server, is the only requirements 1: Outlook Plug installed and 2: Exchange must route/relay outgoing mail through the UTM?
3: Will a MySophos account always be required to download the Outlook plugin?
4: Plugin does not appear available for download through the link on the SPX/Outlook page in the UTM – Will the links work when we reach GA?
5: HTML in email (signature for example) is not supported and the PDF will show the HTML code and some garbled text and characters
6: Although my first couple of tests using SPX encryption worked, password accepted and PDF opened, a clicking on "Reply" took me to the portal - subsequent tests have failed and I am unable to open the PDF with the password provided and on some test emails, when I clicked on “Reply” in the PDF, I got a “500 Internal server error” “the requested URL was not found”
7: When password is sent back to the sender, there is no indication as to which sent message this is the password for? If someone sends multiple SPX emails to different recipients, how will they know which password to send to which recipient?
