Message Security

The GroupWise^® client accommodates users' preferences for security and privacy when sending messages. Users can:

• Sign a message with standardized text (Tools menu > Options > Environment > Signature).
• Sign a message with an Electronic Business Card (vCard) (Tools menu > Options > Environment > Signature).
• Digitally sign and/or encrypt a message. See Personal Digital Certificates, Digital Signatures,
  and S/MIME Encryption.
• Give a message a security classification (Mail To > Send Options > General > Classification > Proprietary, Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, or For Your Eyes Only).
• Conceal the subject of an e-mail message (Mail To > Send Options > Security > Conceal Subject).
• Mark messages and appointments private so that proxy users cannot see them. (Actions > Mark Private).
• Attach a password-protected document to a message and have the recipient prompted to supply the password before the recipient can open the document.
• Require a password in order to mark a Routing Slip completed (Tools menu > Options > Send >Security tab > Require Password to Complete Routed Item). This can prevent a user who is proxied to the mailbox from marking the item completed, or if multiple users proxy to the mailbox, it can be used to ensure that only the user for whom the item was intended can complete it.

In addition, if the users in your GroupWise system exchange messages with users in other GroupWise systems, you can set preferences to control what types of information pass between the two systems. For example, you can prevent external GroupWise users from performing busy searches or obtaining message delivery status. See System Preferences.
