Creating a Deutschland-Online - Infrastructure (DOI) send connector

The Deutschland-Online - Infrastructure (DOI) project is used by local authorities, among others, for the secure transmission of messages.

  1. Go to Configuration > Email routing > Outbound send connectors.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Select Deutschland Online - Infrastruktur (DOI) as type.
  4. Follow the instructions in the dialog box.
    Please refer to the notes under Shared settings for connectors.
  5. Enter the FTP or Web address from which you obtain the mailer table and click Next.
  6. Configure the behaviour for invalid senders.

    NOTE: Senders are always invalid if the sender domain is not part of the DOI network. These emails may not be delivered via the DOI network. You can choose whether these emails are returned to the sender or whether they are sent via a different connector with a higher Costs level. You can also use this page to define how emails are delivered. On the one hand, the emails can be delivered directly, on the other hand, a smarthost can be used (which we recommend). Such a smarthost is provided by the DOI network.

  7. Click Finish.

NOTE: When delivered via the DOI Network, the delivered email is described in message tracking as not encrypted. In this case, the email is encrypted via the DOI network and is thus delivered in a tap-proof manner. This protection is not listed under transport safety.

Behaviour of connectors when adding Gateway Roles

Upon installation of the first Gateway Role, all inbound and outbound send connectors are automatically switched on.

If one or more additional Gateway Roles are added, the following (desired) behaviour occurs:

  • Send connectors that were switched on on all existing roles are also switched on on the new roles.
  • Send connectors that were switched off on one or more roles will not be switched on on the new reels.
  • Receive connectors are not affected.

This behaviour prevents unwanted email traffic from being sent via a new Gateway Role whose configuration has not yet been completed.
