Abstract
The sources of emails sent from mobile devices using wireless email protocols can be identified. In one embodiment, the invention includes receiving a simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP)-formatted email sent from a mobile device as an HTTP request. An SMTP-compliant header identifying the mobile device is examined, that was inserted into the HTTP request using information contained in one or more HTTP headers of the HTTP request. Then, an email data loss prevention (DLP) policy specific to mobile devices is applied to the received email.
