How can I send restricted email via Microsoft Information Protection SDK

Question

Our company emails are protected by Azure Information Protection. So we can send restricted email via Outlook.

But how an application can send restricted email via SMTP also? I saw that the Microsoft Information Protection SDK can process email .msg files. Does it mean we need create a msg file, and protect vis MIP SDK, and then send the msg file out?

Any other ways?

Thanks & Regards

@Alvin Qiu As per what I know about it , the MIP SDK is made of three parts , File SDK , Policy SDK and Protection SDK . In your case I think you need a custom RPMSG Parser in order to parse the msg content . I think that you are using Outlook when you talk about Msg files. The SMTP part is something that is outside the scope of MIP SDK and I think it will be your application or the mailing infrastructure that you are using . If you are building a custom application which can encrypt via MIP SDK and send that message file then I think it is doable within the organization . I think the linked github can provide you more samples. I think the linked sample should help . You can even send the encrypted mail to other organization and create a scope using the protection API by defining a recipient only scope . I think if you check the repository you will find many sample on how to do the same thing with code. If the information is helpful , please do accept the answer.
