Manage encrypted and unencrypted senders
By default, all email addresses sending from your domain are automatically encrypted through Paubox. This ensures that your organization’s communications remain HIPAA compliant and secure.
With the Senders page in the Paubox dashboard, admins have visibility and control over which email addresses are encrypted or unencrypted.
Overview of the Senders page
On the Senders page, you’ll see two tabs:
-
Encrypted Senders: All email addresses sending from your domain that are automatically encrypted through Paubox.
-
Unencrypted Senders: Email addresses you’ve chosen not to send encrypted email through Paubox. These do not count toward your sender count for billing.
Note: Email addresses are automatically added to the Encrypted Senders list when they send mail, to ensure every email is HIPAA compliant. You cannot manually add emails to this list, but you can manually move emails to the Unencrypted Senders list.
