Overview

This article addresses commonly asked questions about using the PreVeil Email relay, including supported use cases, limitations, and configuration options.

FAQs

1. Can I send emails from my non-PreVeil address to my PreVeil address?

Yes. You may send emails to your own PreVeil address from a non-PreVeil account.

Example:
desi@gmail.com ➝ desi@secure.acme-e2ee.com

The message will be delivered to the PreVeil mailbox.

2. Can I send emails from my non-PreVeil address to a co-worker’s PreVeil address?

❌ No. Sending emails from a non-PreVeil address to another user’s PreVeil address is not supported.

3. Can I send an email to multiple different recipients?

✅ Yes, but with some limitations:

• External recipients will not see internal recipient information.

• The relay only handles communication between internal and external users.

• Inbound emails with external recipients may be received if the sender’s address or domain is added to the External Email Addresses list.

4. Can I whitelist my own domain?

✅ Yes. You can whitelist your organization’s domain to allow emails from trusted senders.

5. Can I whitelist a wildcard domain (e.g., *.example.com)?

❌ No. Wildcard characters are not supported in domain names.

6. Can I whitelist a top-level domain (TLD) like .mil or .gov?

❌ No. Whitelisting by TLD is not supported.
You must use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g., agency.gov, not .gov).

7. What is the attachment size limit?

| Gmail extension | ✅ Yes | Supported in browser-based Gmail starting in build 1.3.17 |
| PreVeil mobile app (iOS/Android) | ✅ Yes | Fully supported on both platforms |

9. The Email relay supports one internal domain and one external domain.
