Resolution

This guide assists you in the creation of a Data Protection policy to log TLS emails. This policy passively provides you with feedback on the flow of email using TLS, especially for emails with a sender for which you don't have TLS enforcement.

An email sent using TLS will have the cipher used listed in the email headers; we will use this information to register TLS emails. This is useful in situations where you need to know if email from a specific address was received through TLS.

For more information, see TLS ciphers supported by Email Encryption.cloud

Access the Clientnet portal > Services > Data Protection

Create a policy to log TLS emails

  1. Go to Services > Data Protection > Email Policies.
  2. Click New policy.
  3. Name the policy "Log TLS emails."
  4. Configure the policy as follows:
    • Apply to: Inbound mail only
    • Execute if: All rules are met
    • Action: Log Only
    • Administrator email: Use a non-production administrator email address

      Note: This must be a non-production email because Data Protectionpolicy administrators are automatically whitelisted from all Data Protection policies to avoid mail loops.
       
    • Notifications: None
  5. Add a new Rule named "Log TLS Emails."
  6. Set the rule to ALL conditions are met.
  7. From the Add a condition drop-down list, select Content Keyword List.
  8. Name the list "Supported TLS ciphers."

    Note: The following entries are the current TLS ciphers supported by Symantec.cloud
