This baseline matches the first production use case: send campaign mail, append
sent copies when configured, and inspect mailboxes read-only.
## Message Protection Profiles
The product and security profile approved on 2026-08-04 makes S/MIME the first
institutional signing/encryption profile and OpenPGP an additional explicit
profile. Neither profile is implemented by treating protection as a local Mail
toggle:
- private-key custody belongs to an Encryption/KMS provider and usable private
keys are never persisted by Mail;
- recipient certificates and keys initially come from administered directory
or LDAP sources; opportunistic Internet discovery is deferred;
- required signing or encryption fails closed when material is missing,
expired, revoked, unverifiable, or its provider is unavailable;
- plaintext fallback is permitted only by an explicit, audited policy and is
never inferred from provider failure; and
- delivery evidence pins the signing identity, trust/revocation evidence,
algorithm suite, key version, and any explicit downgrade decision.
Provider-neutral S/MIME custody and interoperability fixtures are the first
implementation slice. OpenPGP uses the same no-silent-downgrade boundary after
the S/MIME profile is stable.
