Opening an Encrypted PDF Email in the Secure Email Portal
Introduction
When you receive an Encrypted PDF email, the email has a Password Protected PDF file attached to it. The actual encrypted content is contained inside the attached PDF file. In order to open the attached PDF and read the encrypted content, a password for that PDF file must first be generated in the Secure Email Portal and then pasted in your favorite PDF reader when prompted for the password.
It's important to understand that in order to generate the password to the attached PDF file, you must first successfully authenticate to the Secure Email Portal.
If this is the first time receiving and Encrypted PDF Email, please follow the instructions in the section titled "Opening an Encrypted PDF Email for the First Time" which will guide you through creating a Secure Email Portal password and then generating the password to open the attached PDF file.
If this is NOT the first time opening an Encrypted PDF Email, please follow the instructions in the section titled "Opening an Encrypted PDF Email" which will guide you through authenticating to the Secure Email Portal with a previously set Secure Email Portal password and then generating the password to open the attached PDF file.
Opening an Encrypted PDF Email for the First Time

How to send/receive encrypted email from Microsoft Outlook
Guide has been updated for Outlook for Office 365/Outlook 2019
Introduction
This guide will help you with configuring Outlook to send encrypted e-mail using S/MIME.
For the purposes of this guide, an external user is someone who has their email hosted outside the domain and control of the Hermes Secure Email Gateway. For example, an external user would have their email hosted with an email service like Gmail, yahoo etc. Typically, this external user has the need to send/receive encrypted email with an internal user i.e. someone who is inside the domain and consequently the control of the Hermes Secure Email Gateway.
Assumptions
This guide assumes you have already received an email with an attached .pfx file. A .pfx file is nothing more than a password protected certificate that you have to install into your Outlook email client. In order to install the certificate, you must have the password which should had been given to you separately.
Instructions
-
Open the email with the subject Your PFX Certificate File with the attached .pfx file (Figure 1)
Figure 1
-
Double-click on the attached key.pfx file. If you get an opening attachment warning, click the Open button (Figure 2)
Figure 2
-
On the Certificate Import Wizard window, ensure Current User is selected and click the Next button (Figure 3)
Figure 3
-
On the File to Import window, simply click the Next button again (Figure 4)
Figure 4
-
On the Private key protection window, enter the certificate password you were provided in the Password field, ensure Mark this key as exportable options is checked and click the Next button (Figure 5)
Figure 5
-
On the Certificate Store window ensure that Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate is selected and click the Next button (Figure 6)
Figure 6
-
On the final Completing the Certificate Import Wizard window simply click the Finish button (Figure 7)
Figure 7
-
You should get a The Import was successful window. Click OK to close that window (Figure 8)
Figure 8
-
Next, back in your Outlook, click on File --> Options (Figure 9)
Figure 9
-
In the Outlook Options window, click on the Trust Center option on the left and then click on the Trust Center Settings button (Figure 10).
Figure 10

Figure 18
-
In order to send an encrypted message to someone, you must first have that person's public key. That's usually accomplished by having that person send you a signed e-mail message which you can then import that person and their public key into your Outlook contacts.
-
Once you receive a signed e-mail message, double-click it to open that message and ensure a the digital signature icon on the top-right hand corner of the message (Figure 19).
Figure 19

Figure 21
-
Ensure that a certificate (public key) appears under the Certificates (Digital IDs) section and click the Save & Close button to save the contact in your Outlook Contacts (Figure 22).
Figure 22
- Since we now have the person's public key, we can now send encrypted e-mails to them. From the Outlook Home screen, click New Email to compose a new message to that person. In the To field, enter the person's e-mail address or select the previously saved contact from your Outlook contacts, click on Options and ensure Encrypt is selected and optionally the Sign button is selected (Sign is not required in order to send an encrypted e-mail) and then click the Send button (Figure 23).

How to Create a Spam Report Button in Outlook
E-mail Spam Definition
"Spam is any kind of unwanted, unsolicited digital communication, often an email, that gets sent out in bulk."
The main takeaway from the definition above is the word "unsolicited". This means that any bulk e-mail that you receive from an entity that you have signed up with and have given them your e-mail address is generally not considered Spam. In those cases, simply unsubscribing from their e-mail lists/newsletters usually stops the e-mails.
Introduction
When you receive an e-mail that you believe should had been quarantined or marked as [SUSPECTED SPAM], you can typically forward that e-mail as an attachment to our team at spam@deeztek.com. This usually involves selecting the e-mail in question, clicking on More in the Respond Outlook ribbon toolbar, selecting Forward as Attachment (Figure 1) filling out the To field with spam@deeztek.com and clicking Send (Figure 2).
Figure 1

While this is not very time consuming, you can simplify this process by creating a SPAM button in Outlook to speed up the process.
