The Destinations card in Settings manages encryption and sender settings for each verified destination mailbox. The card sits on the Email Routing tab; Settings has no standalone Destinations tab. It does not add, verify, or remove destinations, and it does not set the default destination. Those actions take place on the main Destinations page.
A signed-in account can open the card. Encryption or sender settings apply only to a verified destination. PGP encryption and auto-encryption need a Pro or Business plan. Sender name and subject settings work on every plan.
How do I open the Destinations card?#
- Sign in to the AliasFleet app.
- Open Settings from the sidebar.
- Select Email Routing from the tab row. The same tab opens directly at
/settings?tab=routing, and the older link/settings?tab=destinationsopens it too. - Scroll to the Destinations card, the third card on the tab, below Alias Permission Mode and Global Banner Settings.
What does each destination row show?#
Each destination on the account has one row, showing the address, a verification badge, status badges, and row actions.
| Row element | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Verified / Unverified badge | Whether the destination passed verification. An unverified row shows the note "Verification required before configuring encryption" and a Verify Address button. |
| PGP badge | PGP: Inline (Active) or PGP: MIME (Active) when a key is added and encryption is on, PGP: Paused when a key exists but encryption is off, and PGP: Not configured when no key exists. |
| Auto-encrypt badge | Auto-encrypt on or Auto-encrypt off, showing whether automatic key lookup is enabled for replies and sends. |
| Custom sender name badge | Shown only when a custom sender name or subject is set for this destination. |
| Key fingerprint | The first 8 and last 4 characters of the PGP key fingerprint, with a copy button that copies the full fingerprint. |
| PGP toggle | A switch beside destinations with a key. It pauses or resumes PGP encryption at once. |
| Add PGP Key button | Shown when no key exists for a verified destination. It opens the Add PGP Key dialog. |
| Configure button | Opens the Destination Settings dialog for that destination. |
With no destinations, the card shows "No destinations found. Add an email destination from the Destinations page."
What can I change here, and what can I not change?#
Only per-destination encryption and sender settings belong to this card. The destination list itself is managed on the main Destinations page.
| Action | Where |
|---|---|
| Add a PGP key, pause or resume encryption, change the encryption format | This card |
| Turn auto-encryption on or off, change its format | This card |
| Set a custom sender name or subject, per mail type | This card |
| Add a new destination | Destinations page only |
| Verify a destination | Destinations page only |
| Set the default destination | Destinations page only |
| Remove a destination | Destinations page only |
The card also shows a PGP Encryption notice at the top on a free plan, with an Upgrade button. The About PGP & WKD button opens a short explainer. The explainer states that private keys never reach AliasFleet servers and that decryption happens locally inside the mail client.
How do I add a PGP key to a destination?#
- Open the Destinations card on the Email Routing tab.
- Click Add PGP Key on the row for a verified destination.
- Paste the public key into the PGP Public Key field, or click Upload Key File and select a key file. Accepted file types are
.asc,.gpg,.pub,.txt, and.key. The field expects a block starting-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----. - Pick an encryption format: Inline PGP encrypts the plain text body, and PGP/MIME encrypts attachments and full MIME trees.
- Replace subject line is optional. Turn it on to hide the original subject while the message is in transit, then type a replacement such as "Encrypted Message". An empty field uses "..." as the subject.
- Click Add PGP Key to save. The row badge then changes to PGP active and the notice "PGP Key Added" appears.
On a free plan the save button reads Upgrade for PGP instead and links to the billing page. Saving needs a Pro or Business plan.
How do I configure encryption and sender settings?#
Click Configure on a destination row to open the Destination Settings dialog. It has three tabs.
PGP Encryption appears only when the destination already has a key. It shows the current key fingerprint, a Remove Key button, the encryption format choice, and the Replace subject line toggle. Click Save PGP Settings to apply a change.
Auto-Encryption (WKD) controls automatic key lookup for replies and sends. When it is on, AliasFleet checks keys.openpgp.org and the recipient domain Web Key Directory for a public key. A key that is found means the message is encrypted before sending. Turn on Enable auto-encryption, pick Inline PGP or PGP/MIME, and click Save Auto-Encryption Settings. On a free plan the save button reads Upgrade for Auto-Encryption.
Sender Name & Subject sets a custom sender name and subject for this destination. Pick a scope first (All email types, Forward only, Reply only, or Send only), then turn on Custom From name and type a name such as "Private Mailbox", or turn on Custom subject line and type a subject such as "New Message". The Sender From display format dropdown appears only for the All email types scope, with three options: Inherit Global Setting, Sender Name Only, and Sender Name & Address. Click Save Identity Settings to apply the change. For replies, leaving the custom subject off keeps conversation threading intact.
How do I remove a PGP key?#
- Click Configure on the destination row, then open the PGP Encryption tab.
- Click Remove Key beside the current key fingerprint.
- Confirm in the Remove PGP Key dialog, which warns "Emails forwarded to this destination will no longer be encrypted." The row badge then returns to PGP: Not configured.
What if a setting does not apply?#
If the Configure dialog shows the warning "Global header overrides are currently enabled and take precedence over destination-specific overrides", a global sender setting is active in that case and overrides the per-destination name and subject. Turn the global override off first.
If a save button reads Upgrade instead of Add or Save, the account is on the free plan. PGP encryption and auto-encryption need a Pro or Business plan.
An unverified row with a Verify Address button means verification is incomplete. Use the button to finish verification on the Destinations page. Encryption settings stay locked until verification completes.
