Subject line encrypted
Hi Team,
My understanding is when we are sending email during the transport the
email is Encrypted and also the Subject line. Can you please confirm me if
my understanding is correct?
If not is there any configuration that I need to set to make the transport
more secured.
Thank you,
Sai

Note that even if your server requires tranport layer (TLS/SSL), some relaying server may not.
You cannot guarantee transport security of mail from end-to-end.
The only secure way to protect the payload is S/MIME

Thank you Eric and Alex.
We are not planning to have any other explicit encryption or any other
server. Planning to stick to tomcat and use SSL/TLS configurations.
Thank you,
Sai

Hi,
If you use/configure wire encryption with SSL (or TLS), all the traffic
is encrypted. This is done once on the server and client sides, and the
user does not have to take any further action when sending his email.
However, if you ask your user to explicitely encrypt his mail each time
with s/mime of PGP, only the content will be encrypted (the recipients,
the subject and all the other mail headers will remain unencrypted).
Thx,
Eric
