Do you support encrypted email alerts?

    Is there a way to secure the email alerts being sent from JotForm to our email servers? Could we utilize S/MIME? We would like to use the service but we need to be sure the data is securely transmitted.

    We do not currently support encrypted email alerts. However, this is possible to configure forms to use your own SMTP sender over SSL/TLS.

    Alternatively, you might consider using our encrypted forms feature.

    The data will be stored in an encrypted format with that option.

    If you need any further assistance, please let us know.

    Sounds good. If I use my own SMTP server and SSL/TLS and only send within my own domain, then the content would not be on the public internet. Is that correct? That might meet our needs.

    I think that this is correct, the scheme should be:

    Our server securely connecting to your SMTP > Your SMTP processing the delivery > Since mailbox is within the same domain, the message should be delivered bypassing mailservers outside of your network.
