07 Remediation
Upgrade to hMailServer 6.3.6, whose webmail keeps a signer's certificate only when its chain is trusted, only under the From address the signature was verified for, and a different certificate for an address that has one only when the reader chooses to. After upgrading, review the correspondents' certificates on the webmail's Security page and remove any that should not be there. Until then: check the certificates listed for an address before sending it encrypted mail from the webmail, or encrypt in a mail program.
