S/MIME signatures and from addresses
-
bennyNo, there is a bit for OpenPGP, but I'm not even sure that can be used to disable signing for a specific email address.
Are you sure MailMate tries to use your job certificate? If MailMate does not find a certificate for the current email address then it should at least report this (and not use the wrong one).

When I open the compositor to write a mail from my private account and try to send, I get following message:
Failed to find identity to sign for *******@*******.***.
The specified item could not be found in the keychain. Error code: -25300Then I deactivate the signing and I can send.

This is the expected behavior. MailMate cannot find a certificate to match the identity (email address). MailMate doesn't currently have a setting to exclude an email address when signing is enabled. The default behavior has to be that MailMate does not ignore this issue (otherwise some keychain problem or other issue might result in unintentionally sending unsigned or unencrypted messages).
As I noted, using OpenPGP it's possible (low level) to map an email address (sender identity) to a specific key. If I do the same for S/MIME (mapping to a specific certificate) and then add that an empty value means no certificate, would that satisfy your needs?

If I understand correctly, something like the should do it. (I use S/MIME.)

Ok, I'll update this ticket when/if this is added. I don't think it should be hard, but I might be wrong :)

In the next update, something like this should work to disable signing/encrypting when using a specific email address:
{ map = ( { address = "user@example.com"; serial = ""; }, ); } -

Thank you. It's working. But it would be nice to be able to use wildcards/regexes and/or opt-in instead of opt-out. I have several addresses and aliases and only one is used with S/MIME, so it's troublesome to keep this list in sync with my in-use addresses.
