This guide covers the steps to follow when you are healthcare professionals, Infomaniak customers, and wish to comply with the HIN system.

Preamble

• The acronym HIN stands for "Health Insurance Network".
• A HIN-type email address is an address used to send confidential and sensitive messages, such as medical records or test results, between healthcare professionals who have been authorized to use them.
• These addresses are protected by additional security measures to ensure that sensitive information does not fall into the wrong hands.

Obtaining an encrypted HIN email address

For your Infomaniak email address to be HIN-compatible:

1. Click here to access the page of services offered by HIN and subscribe to their offer.
2. Contact Infomaniak support in writing as soon as a contract is concluded, clearly mentioning the email address(es) concerned (pay special attention to the domain name and its extension .com, .ch etc.).
3. Wait for HIN to notify Infomaniak and for the solution to be implemented (several hours or days).

This guide helps you find the public IP address of your device, which can be useful for certain support requests, among other things.

• the table under the button does not mention a user listed with an email address identical to the email address in question

Example: you want to invite someone to view the address anna.a@domain.xyz but the button is greyed out because a user anna.a@domain.xyz is listed in the table.

Solution: to be able to invite a new user to view the address in question, completely delete the user account with the login address being the email address in question.

This guide explains how to block (or allow) email senders globally on an entire Mail Service. Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information on how blocked and allowed sender lists work.

Manage Security on Global Configuration

A Mail Service administrator can add email addresses or even entire domains to the lists of approved or rejected senders, and these lists will be applied to all email addresses of a Mail Service (without modifying the existing settings already on each email address):

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
3. Click on Global Configuration in the left sidebar menu.
4. Click on the Security tab.
5. Click the Add an address button in the Blocked address box to block an email from an unauthorized sender.

This guide details the specific rules to follow when using a password containing the "dollar" character $ to send an email via the SMTP Infomaniak in a script (PowerShell, Python, etc.).

Preamble

• If you encounter an authentication error (for example auth failed, invalid login or password) when sending an email via SMTP, even though the password is correct and works in software like Outlook, the issue may be due to the handling of the character $ in your script or configuration file.
• To ensure reliable execution of your SMTP scripts, it is strongly advised to avoid any special character with syntactic meaning, particularly $, in passwords used in scripts and configuration files.
• The issue may also occur when connecting to databases.

Rules to follow

The character $ is a special symbol in many languages and environments. When it is used in a password in a script or configuration file, it can be mistakenly interpreted as a variable or control character.

Here are frequent cases where you should not use the character $ in a password:

• PowerShell: $ is used to declare variables. A password containing $ can cause syntax errors or be truncated.
• Bash / Shell (Linux): $ is also a variable prefix. It can trigger unexpected substitutions.
• YAML files (for example Home Assistant, GitHub Actions, Docker Compose) : $ can be interpreted as an environment variable.
• Files .env, .ini, or other configuration files: the tools that read these files may attempt to interpret the variables.
• Commands or URLs with authentication: a password containing $ may be improperly encoded or fail during parsing.

To correct or prevent this type of error:

• Avoid using the character $ in passwords intended for use in scripts or automated systems.
• If you absolutely must use it, always enclose the password string correctly according to the language:
  • In PowerShell: use single quotes 'password$Test' if possible.
  • In Python: ensure the string is well enclosed in single or double quotes, without interpretation.
  • In Bash: escape the $ with a backslash \$.

This guide explains how to activate the Infomaniak anti-spam filter, which significantly reduces the number of unsolicited messages that can reach your Infomaniak email address if you share it with third parties.

Preamble

• Spam is unsolicited mail, often of an advertising or fraudulent nature, aimed at promoting products, services, or carrying out online scams; fortunately, Infomaniak has implemented strategies to combat this form of digital pollution.
• Thanks to the anti-spam filter, the messages you genuinely want to see quickly will no longer be buried among dozens of other unwanted messages, as the latter will be automatically placed in a special folder, the Spam folder (or in the spam destination folder - see below) and then automatically deleted after 30 days.
• Moreover, the filter is automatically activated when creating an email address within an Infomaniak Mail Service or when subscribing to a my kSuite / my kSuite+ offer.

Activate the option from the Infomaniak Web Mail app

Prerequisites

• Have permission to manage the filter: it is possible that the Mail Service manager has revoked this right from their admin account.

To access your Infomaniak mail settings:

1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Web Mail app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
2. Click on the Settings icon in the top right corner.
3. Check or select the relevant email address in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.
4. Click on Filters and rules:
   
5. Activate the spam filter option, the effect is immediate (wait for the on-screen confirmation message); in this case, all future messages with a header indicating a high spam score (and blocked senders) will go to the Spam folder:
   
6. Simply click the toggle switch again to deactivate the filter; in this case, all future messages will go to the inbox, including messages with a header indicating a high spam score.

Activate the option from a Mail Service

To access your Infomaniak mail settings:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
3. Click on the relevant email address in the displayed table.
4. Click on Filters in the left sidebar.
5. Activate the spam filter option, the effect is immediate:
   
6. Simply click the toggle switch again to disable the filter; in this case, all future messages will go to the inbox, including messages with a header indicating a high spam score (they can be processed downstream by your software/email client if it supports reading this type of header).

Note that you can activate it in bulk on multiple addresses at the same time.

Customize the anti-spam filter

Modify the location of spam

You can choose the default location of the folder where messages considered as spam will be automatically placed (similar to special IMAP folders).

Where you have activated the spam filter:

1. Click on Modify:
   
2. Click on the folder name to choose another one (create a new one in advance if necessary):
   
3. Click on the Validate button:
   

Report a filtering issue or manually block senders

Report unfiltered Spam or an email filtered when it is not Spam (false positive): refer to this other guide on this subject.

You can also specify in advance which senders should always go to the Spam folder (or vice versa, if they should not be filtered): refer to this other guide on this subject.

For added security, enable the external mail mention.

This guide helps you protect the reputation of your domain name, to maintain the trust of Internet users and service providers in your website or business, thereby facilitating the smooth operation of your email.

The web reputation

There are different types of reputation on the Internet, including personal reputation, corporate reputation, and domain reputation.

Domain reputation is essentially a score that determines how email systems decide what to let through to users' inboxes. Fundamentally, the reputation of your domain is a measure of the health and legitimacy of your domain. This reputation can be influenced by the security of your email and website.

For example, the reputation of a domain can decrease if…

• … the site visible at the domain address is hacked, leading to the mass sending of fraudulent emails,
• … the domain's email is exploited for the involuntary sending of spam.

If the reputation of your domain remains poor, your emails may be marked as spam and not reach their intended audience. This can harm email deliverability (see this other guide in English on this topic).

Improving domain reputation

By following these few tips, you can improve the reputation of your domain and, for example, boost all your email marketing efforts:

• Set up and verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records that help protect your domain from identity theft attacks.
• Check the reputation of your domain with tools such as Google Postmaster Tools, Sender Score, Microsoft SNDS, McAfee or Talos Intelligence and identify potential issues.
• Only send emails to users who have chosen to subscribe!
• Get trusted links or backlinks…

This guide explains how to add or modify one or more SRV type records in the DNS zone (of a domain name) managed on the Manager Infomaniak.

Preamble

• This type of record allows you to indicate which services are available for a domain.
• They are often used for XMPP, LDAP protocols or to configure Microsoft Office 365.

Modify the DNS zone

Refer to this other guide to manage this type of record in a DNS zone.

This guide explains what spamtrap email addresses are.

Preamble

• A spamtrap, also known as a honeypot, is a tool used to detect and catch spammers.
• It is essentially an email address or a system that is created to attract unwanted messages, such as spam.

How a Spamtrap Address Works

A spamtrap address works by attracting spam and identifying the senders of unwanted mail. Here's how it can happen:

1. An email address is specifically created to act as a spam trap; it is generally configured so as not to receive legitimate communication.
2. The spamtrap address is hidden or obscured so that it is not visible to legitimate users, but only to spammers; this can be done by placing it on hidden web pages, in forums inaccessible to the public or by making it invisible to humans (for example by using white text on a white background).
3. Spammers use automated techniques to extract email addresses from various sources, such as websites, forums, social networks, or stolen address lists; during this process, they may inadvertently or intentionally include spamtraps in their lists.
4. When a spammer sends a message to a spamtrap address, it is captured and recorded; since the address is not used for legitimate communication, any mail received is considered unwanted.
5. When a spamtrap receives a spam, it triggers an alert for email service providers like Infomaniak; they can then identify the sender of the spam by examining the message headers or the information related to the source IP address.
6. Once a spammer is identified through a spamtrap, measures can be taken to block or filter their unwanted messages; Infomaniak can add the spammer's IP address to a blacklist, implement stricter anti-spam filters or take other steps to protect their users.

This guide covers data protection regulations in Switzerland and Europe, and the measures taken by Infomaniak to secure your customer data and data within Web Hosting and Mail Services.

Understanding the difference between data security and data confidentiality

Data security aims to prevent any unauthorized access to your information. It relies on measures such as encryption, firewalls, or VPNs. A security breach can have disastrous consequences: imagine a hacker stealing your entire customer database and demanding a ransom to recover it. This type of attack – ransomware – can paralyze a company overnight.

Data confidentiality concerns who can access your information and how it is used. Even if your data is secure against hacking, it can be collected, analyzed, and resold… legally.

Example: you carefully store your customers' information, but unbeknownst to you, a service you use shares – anonymously – this data with third parties. Result? Your competitors can obtain valuable analyses of your market and target your own customers without ever needing to hack.

LPD & GDPR

In Switzerland, the LPD (Federal Law on Data Protection) and nLPD (for the "new Law" in effect since September 2023) protect the confidentiality of residents by regulating the collection and processing of personal data by organizations.

On the other hand, the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) of the EU, in effect since May 2018, influences global companies processing the data of European residents, including in Switzerland. While the LPD applies to the data of Swiss residents, the GDPR concerns that of EU residents. Swiss companies managing European data must comply with the GDPR requirements, including the designation of a Data Protection Officer and the conduct of Impact Assessments in case of risky processing.

Your role as an Infomaniak Client

Regarding the hosted data that belongs to you — and especially if it contains personal data of your visitors, contacts, or customers — it is your responsibility to ensure its compliance.

When processing this personal data, it is essential to inform users about the purpose and methods of this processing. This is usually done through a privacy policy or a data processing agreement (DPA).

Agreement between data controller and processor

A DPA (Data Processing Agreement), known in German as AVV (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag), in Italian as ATD (Accordo di Trattamento dei Dati), and in Spanish as CTA (Contrato de Tratamiento de Datos), translates to Data Processing Agreement or Personal Data Processing Contract.

It is a mandatory contract provided by the GDPR between a data controller and a processor. It defines the purpose, duration, and nature of the processing, as well as the obligations and security measures. Its goal is to protect the personal data entrusted to a service provider.

This GDPR certificate (in PDF format) can be generated and downloaded from the Manager (accessible to organization users who are owners or administrators):

1. Click here to access DPA management on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click the Generate button to download the customized PDF document:
   

Here are some tips on this subject:

It is crucial to differentiate between the security of the infrastructures where your data is hosted and the management and implementation of your data on your side. As a host, Infomaniak acts as a subcontractor for your GDPR-related obligations. In this context, its privacy policies and cookie usage, as well as its terms and conditions, provide the necessary guarantees regarding its compliance as a subcontractor.

Infomaniak's role

Like companies that work with user data, Infomaniak must comply with the LPD and, because some of these users are European citizens, the GDPR as well:

• the data privacy policy details the data that Infomaniak retains to provide and execute its services
• the policy related to the protection of your personal data describes Infomaniak's commitments as a subcontractor that hosts all of your data, including personal data

This guide explains how to create a template for the sorting/filtering tool (conditions that allow you to automatically classify your emails based on certain criteria) for all your mailboxes on the Infomaniak Web app Mail (online service mail.infomaniak.com).

Preamble

• A template allows you to create the neutral base of a tool that can then be used by multiple users of the same Infomaniak Mail service, or even personalized according to the person who will use it.
• In the case of a rule template, the creator of the template chooses the condition(s) that will trigger the action, but it is up to the end user, from their Mail, to define the action to be performed (e.g., moving to a specific folder) when they add a rule based on the existing template.
• For privacy reasons, it is not possible to apply sorting rules to multiple email addresses at the same time.
• You can also hide a template so that it is no longer used.

Create a sorting rule template

To create a template:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
3. Click on Global Configuration in the left sidebar.
4. Click on the Rules tab.
5. Click on Add a rule template:
   
6. Give a name to the template.
7. Define the condition for which the end user can choose the action to trigger.
   • The different conditions available for sorting filters are presented in this other guide.
8. If the Make visible option is enabled (during creation or also possible afterwards), the rule models created will be suggested to users of email addresses that go to their FILTERS AND RULES section.
9. Press Add the model:
   
   • When the user of an email address from the Mail Service on which the rule model has been defined goes to the configuration of their sorting rules, they will be able to choose the model as a basis for work, which will save them from having to reconfigure a potentially complex configuration, and simply choose the action to be performed:

• Authentication required for sending emails:
  • It is activated in the SMTP settings of your application.
  • Check "use the same parameters as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email clients, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and the generated password.

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other compatible messaging ports and protocols (SSL / TLS for example).

In case of problem

Check that the Mail Service is configured optimally.

It is not necessary to contact Infomaniak Support if your email address works well outside the application. The most common error concerns the use of an incorrect password. Refer to the solutions given in this other guide regarding email in general.

This guide presents the email authentication mechanisms and the ways to resolve the Sender Mismatch error.

Preamble

• The "Sender Mismatch" error occurs when the address used to send an email does not match the authentication address used when connecting to the SMTP server.
• This error is related to two specific elements:
  • The Return-path (also called "envelope sender"), which is used by the mail server to manage returns and delivery errors,
  • and the From header, which is the sender's address visible to the recipient in the message.

Resolve the Sender Mismatch error

Technically, when sending an email via a mail software/client, you must authenticate using a username (= your email address) and a password.

If, after authentication, the sender's address specified in the "From" header or in the "Return-path" is different from the address used for authentication, the Infomaniak server may consider this an attempt at forgery. It is this inconsistency that triggers the "Sender Mismatch" error.

To correct this error:

• Check that the email address used for sending is the one you authenticate with (or a valid alias).
• Do not modify the Return-path or From header to another unauthorized address (if necessary, refer to this other guide to test another mail application or to correctly configure your current mail software/client).

The hosting platform for your sites *.perso.ch, *.users.ch, *.geneva-link.ch is evolving and this guide presents the procedure to follow to connect to your FTP space.

Modification of login credentials

The current hosting platform relies on the use of a prefix at the level of your FTP username. This is in the following form: persoch_

Thus, if your username was infomaniak, you will now need to use the following user to connect via FTP: persoch_infomaniak.
