asked on Help Analyzing Email Header Information
Help. I'm looking for a reality check here and was hoping you can help.
We are working with a vendor that swears the following emails are being set to us encrypted and secure (it's confidential information that cannot be sent via Normal smpt traffic). But the way I'm reading the header information, it looks like it was sent via normal smtp.
We use Postini as our spam filter, and do have a TLS route between Postini & My Mail Server.
smtp2.VENDOR-NetworkID.com
It looks like based on this line that the mail is traveling via SMTP from the vendor to Postini.
Received: from source ([VENDOR-IP-ADDRESS]) by exprodXXX.postini.com ([POSTINI-IP-ADDRESS]) with SMTP;
It looks like maybe there are secured hops but that main one to our Postini is unencrypted.

It's odd though. No where in the email does it state that the email is encrypted like it was using Tumbleweek or Zix Corp.
Plus it came into my user plan and open.

hm. looks like blat doesn't support TLS directly. it was a while since i used it, sorry. I forgot the name of small utility that I used for email tests like that. if you familiar with *nix you can use openssl
ASKER
It's ok. It's odd some of their encrypted items come through tumbleweed others don't.
I haven't been using postini for a while too, but i think you can configure it to enforce tls for domains you want
ASKER
It's not on my end. I'm concerned that the vendor set it to us unsecured.

I can't do that plus it's up to the vendor to make sure this information is encrypted.

The lines above suggest to me that the original message wasn't encrypted by the originating server. I suppose it means that that server doesn't have or cannot find your public key.

to test that just download BLAT and send emails yourself thru postini with and without TLS
