SPX Email Encryption & Invitations / Appointments

Thought I'd post an update since I was able to fix this. Just incase someone else ran into this.

Basically, after contacting tech support, their answer was: SPX doesn't work with invites. As it happens, we have a business partner to whom we are required to use SPX for all messages. Because of that, I needed a way to create an exception only for invites so they aren't sent using SPX. Which I had to partially figure out on my own as tech support's suggestion ("just search for the term 'meeting request' in the subject") didn't work. :smileyfrustrated: (Sorry if that sounded snippy, wasn't overly impressed with the suggestion.)

Here's what you do:

Create a new outbound Data Control rule.

Rule Type: Messages matching specific words or phrases.

Rule Config: 

Under the "String" tab, add the following four strings:

• METHOD:REQUEST
• method:request
• VCALENDAR
• vcalendar

Under the "Regular expression" tab, add the following four strings:

• /bMETHOD:REQUEST/b
• /bmethod:request/b
• /bVCALENDAR/b
• /bvcalendar/b

I also put a check mark in the box next to "Match keyword entries within attachments".

Main action: Deliver immediately.

And, finally, name the rule. I called mine "Immedately deliver invites".

I created another one just like it under "Additional Policy". Some of the above is likely overkill (especially the upper case / lower case variations on the same phrase). Once I got it to work, I didn't feel like going back and whittling things down to just the exact elements needed (I'm lazy like that).

Hope that helps someone.
