Hello,

which version of Rebex Secure Mail are you using? Is is the latest one (2016R1.1) or some older?

If older, please give the latest version a try.
If the problem also occurs with 2016 R1.1 version, please send us the problematic email as a zip archive to support@rebex.net.

We will be able to look into it then.

It's a private message, they can't send it... If the problem occurs in the latest version as well, we can enhance the error message to include the supposedly invalid time node value. in the message signature. Then, we will be able to tell what is going on.
