Encrypted Mails
I've just been informed that the mails I was hoping to process the XML content of using JAMES are PGP encrypted when they first come in.
Can I automatically decrypt them using JAMES before processing them with a mailet? Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Tim

Danny,
You might want to clarify. What are you saying no to? As you note, if he
has the appropriate keys, then he can decrypt and process the messages.
Since the messages are intended for him to process, one must assume that he
will be in possession of the necessary keys.

Basically No.
The whole point of encryption of mail is to prevent intermediate transports
from peeking at mail contents.
On the other hand if you have the private keys then yes.. but would you
always have the correct key?

You'll have to write a decryption mailet. A quick Google search turned up
several options:
- http://www.cryptix.org/
- http://www.cryptography.ch/uni/pgpjava/
- http://jaugment.sourceforge.net/ (has PGP methods)
Is this for verification or secrecy? In other words, are they signing with
their own private key, or with your public key?
