Description

Miscellaneous first checks
  • I checked that all ports are open and not blocked by my ISP / hosting provider.
  • I know that SSL errors are likely the result of a wrong setup on the user side and not caused by DMS itself. I'm confident my setup is correct.
Affected Component(s)

I think this email is sent by the antivirus scanner.

What happened and when does this occur?

Send a pgp encrypted email.

What did you expect to happen?

Find a way to suppress these UNCHECKED contents in mail FROM emails because encrypted emails should be unchecked.

How do we replicate the issue?
  1. Guessing: Set up AVIS
  2. Send a PGP email
