Email triggers

These control unauthorized attempts to open or send emails. Separate triggers are available for outgoing and incoming emails.

Email triggers can look for such details as: recipient or sender addresses, attachments, whether the email is encrypted, whether it is protected with RMS technology, the absence of a digital signature, and of course, its text content.

Email triggers are used by the following CA DLP components:

• Email endpoint agents (Outlook and Notes)
• Email server agents (Exchange and Domino)
• Milter MTA (Sendmail and Postfix)
• Network Appliance (SMTP and POP3 emails, and Webmails such as Hotmail or Yahoo!)
• IIS SMTP agent (for emails transiting through SMTP servers)
