Mail Flow Rule to add X-Header to outgoing message

webbdj

We use a mail encryption product (EncryptTitan) with some of our clients.

In order to trigger mail encryption, our users add the phrase "send-secure" to the end of their subject line.

In Microsoft Exchange/MS365, we have a mail-flow rule that detects that the message is being sent to someone "outside the organization" and contains that phrase "send-secure" in the subject line, and it adds a special X-HEADER (

X-ETVALTOK) with an authorization token to the message.   
When the message reaches our mail security edge server (SpamTitan), it sees that the X-ETVALTOK smtp header is set, and it redirects the email over to the EncryptTitan servers for handling.
EncryptTitan validates that the token provided is legit and matches it to a specific tenant.
This works great in Exchange and MS365.   
Now how do I accomplish this for my Groupwise clients?
Not seeing any options anywhere similar to this in Groupwise/ Groupwise Admin???

    No, there is no solution you are asking for as far as I know. There is no simple solution.

    However if you use SMG for outgoing mails, then you can arrange it (in a simple way)

    Another "not so simple" way is, to change your GWIA. There is a "3rd party" feature you can use. GWIA has two processes, one process translates mails from GroupWise to SMTP, the second process will transfer the translated message to internet. A third party activity will be placed between first and second process.
    Now it's up to you, if you want to be this third party activity. You have to write a small script, which searches for this string and transform sent messages into your requested format.
    I do not expect that this script is very hard to do. But it will be additional work ...

    Are you referring to the --smtphome switch for GWIA, which drops the messages in a folder, where they can be processed by a script/program, and then moved to the work folder?
