Certified Email™ Paper Suppression Solution

What is CertifiedEmail Paper Suppression?

CertifiedEmail Paper Suppression (CertifiedEmail PS) is the first application designed to provide legal proof that a specific email message was sent and received at the server-level email inbox. Built on the CertifiedEmail platform, CertifiedEmail PS enables a business to prove that a given message was sent and delivered on a specified day, to a specific recipient. A digital signature technology validates the exact contents of the message. This nonrepudiation capability provides a means for companies to meet regulatory compliance while doing so with electronic means instead of paper notifications, saving money while compressing the consumer notice period.

CertifiedEmail PS may meet regulatory compliance obligations, including Regulation Z, Sarbanes-Oxley and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

How It Works

Using CertifiedEmail Paper Suppression is straightforward. Senders must first be accredited by Goodmail and send through an email service provider or in-house platform that supports CertifiedEmail.  To use CertifiedEmail Paper Suppression, senders:

• Select the Paper Suppression token type when sending their messages
• Archive the message, including the token, to use for proof at a later date.

To obtain verification at a later point in time, senders:

• Forward the archived message to verify@goodmailsystems.com

• Goodmail verifies that the digital signature matches the copy kept by Goodmail, and that no aspect of the message has been compromised (sender, recipient, message content, time of send/delivery)

• Goodmail obtains the exact time of message delivery to the recipient inbox based on Goodmail’s ISP records
• Goodmail provides all of this data back to the sender.
