Email Encryption doesn't work

Hi ,

we are using Astaro 7.305 .
I have enabled the Email encryption. To test the whole thing I have created a PGP key pair with Thunderbird RSA/2048. I have imported the public key into the Astaro Mail->Security->Encryption->OpenPGPPublicKeys. Encrypt outgoing email under Options is enabled.
When I now send an email to my Thunderbird address the email and the attachments a readable without decryption.
For me it seems that email encryption doesn't work at all.

Have I forgot something ?Any ideas ? Thanks a lot for helping.

Best regards,
Thor

Does the sender have a private key also?

Hi ,

thank you for your answer.
I have created an email user. Now it seems to work.
Is this a bug or a feature? In my eyes it is not necassary to have a email user. You just want to encrypt all outgoing email to certain recipient no matter who is the sender. Therefor you have the default policy under options.

You have to assign a key to the user, so yes, creating a user is necessary.

Hi ,

thank you for your answer.

Why do I need a key for the user? I don't want to sign the email, I only want to encrypt it. So all I need is the public key from the recipient.

Hi ,

I've found the answer. If I turn off 'Decryption' in the user profile , then the subject will remain unaffected.
