reading custom header from smime message
Hi Eric,
I have enabled ssl for my james server.
I am sending a customer header called as Client-Type from my webmail
client to distinguish whether the user is using the webmail client or
something like microsoft outlook.
I have written my custom mailet which is working fine and can get
value for Client-Type header for normal message(IMF). This is failing
when the message comes in as SMIME. How can I read this customer
header from the SMIME message?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Regards,
Rajender

Hi Rajender,
The SMIMEDecrypt is located in the apache-mailet-crypto project.
You can add that specific jar in the conf/lib folder of your running
instance, at least if you run with latest snapshots, we had a bug with
previous release. If you want to add the jar to a release, you will have
to hack the properties files.
Thx, Eric

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your reply. My james is running on ssl ports. I want to check
whether my clients are sending mails from my web client or using another
client like outlook or thunderbird. I do have access to private key. It
seems like SMIMEDecrypt is only in 2.3 version?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Regards,
Rajender

I assume that the s/mime is encrypted...
If it is not encrypted, you should have access to the header and body.
Maybe some clever part decoding is needed (not sure)...

Re: reading custom header from smime message

Hi,
If the header is in the smime message (see
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3851.txt), and is not a regular mail header,
there is no way for the mailet to read it (unless the mailet has acess
to the recipient certificate, but you don't want this I guess).
Thx, Eric
