DomainKeys (DKIM) Identified Mail integration
The DKIM functionality provides an email authentication method to ensure that a received message has not been modified while in transit from an organization's protected domains. DKIM integration has both email signing and email verification components.
Previous versions of TRITON AP-EMAIL (and Websense Email Security Gateway/Anywhere) included the verification component, which uses the message header digital signature to associate a domain name with the email.
Version 8.1 adds the signing component: the ability to generate or import a private signing key. The private key can be associated with a signing rule that applies to specified user domains. The rules function also allows an administrator to generate a DNS text record that contains a public key.
The private key resides in the mail transfer agent, providing a digital signature that is added to the header of each message sent from a protected domain. A public key is generated and published in the DNS as a text record that is used by a recipient mail system in the verification process.
For detailed configuration information, see DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) integration in the TRITON AP-EMAIL Administrator Help.
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) validation integration
DMARC uses the results of the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DKIM validation processes, along with the sender domain's DMARC policy to determine message disposition. Published in the sender's DNS record, a DMARC policy includes the sender's affirmation that its email is protected by SPF and DKIM validation, and provides a recipient organization with instructions for handling mail that does not pass either of those checks on the recipient's end.
When you enable DMARC validation, a reporting mechanism provides the sender with information about the number of messages received from that sender domain and the results of the recipient's validation checks. Reports are sent to the email address specified in the sender domain's DNS text record via the RUA (reporting URL of aggregate reports) tag.
For detailed configuration information, see Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) validation integration in the TRITON AP-EMAIL Administrator Help.
Complex password enforcement
This version of TRITON AP-EMAIL implements a strong password policy across all end-user functions. When an administrator enables the new password policy, end users are asked to change their passwords to comply.
An end-user password must meet the following requirements:
*
Between 8 and 15 characters
*
At least 1 uppercase letter
*
At least 1 lowercase letter
*
At least 1 number
*
At least 1 special character; supported characters include:
! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
This policy applies to Personal Email Manager and Websense Secure Messaging end users.
Personal Email Manager notification message redesign
A Personal Email Manager notification message contains a summary of a user's blocked messages. Users can manage these blocked messages using either the notification message or the Personal Email Manager end-user portal.
In this version, the notification message has been redesigned to more closely align with a unified TRITON look and feel in terms of appearance and the actions that are available for the user to take.
