[UTM 9.2] SPX Recipient Passwords

cpod
With SPX configured to generate and store the encryption password for the recipient, we are supposed to find some way to securely transmit this password to the recipient.

What are the method(s) you all are using?

    Check the feature.astaro.com site; there is a feature request in there for them to implement a full-featured end user portal for SPX as it exists in the "classic" Sophos Email Appliance ... currently it's sort of inefficient to use SPX on the UTM as when an end user (recipient) forgets a password, an admin has to reset the thing in Webadmin... they should be able (as an option) to self-reset the password.  We have been using SMS (texting) to send the password out-of-band, but I suppose you could talk on the phone or send via fax... but that takes a lot of time.

    I agree it's very inefficient and really not very secure. Better than nothing, but really needs to become a proper portal not a "workaround" as I see this as.

    We all know the sender who receives the password is simply going to forward that password by email to the recipient by the very same email mechanism used to send the SPX anyhow. User are lazy, they do what works now, that requires the least effort.
