24.12.2 Signature and Encryption Settings
There are initial signature and encryption settings that you can set
to control whether all users’ outgoing messages are:
The initial settings also control whether the signature and encryption
checkboxes located at the bottom of a Communications Express Mail window and
in the Options - Settings window are displayed as checked (feature turned
on) or unchecked (feature turned off). Use the alwaysencrypt and alwayssign parameters in the smime.conf file
to specify the initial settings.
Let your mail users know that they can change the initial settings for
their mail messages. After they log in to Communications Express Mail, a user
can temporarily override a setting for one message, or for all their messages
on an on-going basis.
Table 24–5 summarizes the
use of the checkboxes.
