Zix - Email Encryption Utility

Zix - Email Encryption Utility

Door County utilizes an email encryption service from the Zix Corporation, conveniently called ZixCorp.

  1. All emails are scanned for content and, if a defined threshold is met or exceeded, the email is automatically encrypted and a notification is sent to the recipient to pick up the encrypted email.

  2. If you would like to manually (force) an email to be encrypted, you may do so by placing “ZSECURE” (without quotation marks) anywhere within the subject field of the email.  The “zsecure” is not case sensitive.  Again, a notification is sent to the recipient to pick up the encrypted email.

  3. The recipient is to open the email, select Open Message, and then login or create a Zix account in order to open/read the message.

  4. In both cases, you are sent a notification from Zix that the email has been encrypted and why…and an email “receipt” when the encrypted message has been picked-up/read.  If the message is not picked up (read) within 30 days, it is deleted and you are sent a notification of such with the word "EXPIRED" in the subject field followed by the original email subject.

Technology Services will not alter or bypass any of the encryption rules to allow an email o pass without being encrypted.
