Hi,

Can you explain why keys are not matching from mailer@annonaddy.me?

I am getting error
"Encrypted but end to end key did not match the sender"

This is because your email client is using the From: header to check the key's identity.

However the From: header on AnonAddy is set to the alias email address.

It would not be feasible to add every alias email addresss as an identity to the "mailer@anonaddy.me" signing key. It also isn't really feasible to create a new signing key for every single alias so that it matches.

At the moment I'm not sure if there is any solution for this, except for sending every single forwarded email from "mailer@anonaddy.me" but then this would break many users mail filters etc.

I will have a think and see if I can come up with anything.

Thanks. Basically, key identity has to match allias email to work. Maybe ok for few keys, I can see this being a issue.

Closing this for now as there is no solution to this issue that I'm aware of that would allow emails to be forwarded from aliases whilst having an exact identity match for the signing key.

Can you make this a configurable option? Then, along with the Reply-To: header, a filter could probably be created
