### Email Signing {#disable-enable-digital-signing-emails}
2525

26-
The Mendix Platform digitally signs the content of emails from senders [no-reply@notifications.mendix.com](mailto:no-reply@notifications.mendix.com) and [no-reply@platform-mail.mendix.com](mailto:no-reply@platform-mail.mendix.com). By digitally signing the content of an email, Mendix provides assurance to the recipient of the email that the content of an email has not been altered in transit. For reasons of security, this feature is enabled by default. However, in case digitally signing the content of an email interferes with the delivery of that email to the recipient, a Mendix Admin can disable this feature for emails sent to receivers in the company domains. For more information, see the [Why Do You Want to Disable the Digital Signing of Email Content?](#why-disable-email-signing) section below.

Digital signing of email content contributes to security, but why do you want to disable the digital signing of email content sometimes? Digital signing might interfere with other email safety measures like “External Email Warning”. This feature might add a customized HTML warning to the email. Since Mendix emails cannot be altered, some email servers will wrap the original message in a blank email and add the original email as an attachment. This is not beneficial for the experience of the user and will make the emails look suspicious, impacting user engagement. Also, it makes searching for emails with specific text content more difficult for users.

For security and disaster recovery purposes, you may want to replicate application data in Mendix Cloud to another region. If that is the case, click **Activate** to activate application data replication. By default, application data replication is activated.
44+
By default, Mendix provides premium customers with an SLA which includes high-availability and disaster recovery measures. This means that your application data (file storage and database backups) is replicated to other availability zones within the region and also to a secondary region so that you can still access your data in case of an outage in the primary region.

When application data application is activated, all data and backups of your application on Mendix Cloud are replicated to another region in the country. If there is only one region in the country, the data is replicated to a region in another country.

Secondary regions are, wherever possible, in the same political region as the primary region. However this is not always possible.You can find which secondary regions are used for each primary region in the [Data Location](/developerportal/operate/backups/#data-location) section of *Backups*.
