Paubox blog: HIPAA compliant email - easy setup, no portals or passcodes

Paubox customers: Paubox Zoom social mixer (June 2025)

Written by Dean Levitt | June 27, 2025

In our June Zoom social mixer, we discussed AI marketing campaigns, ExecProtect+, quishing, geofencing, and the jarring discovery that Google still sends emails with outdated encryption like TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

 

What happened

The June social mixer was an unmoderated discussion amongst healthcare IT professionals and marketers. We covered a range of topics, including phishing attacks, Paubox transcription, the impact of AI content on search engine results, geofencing tools, and Paubox's new SMTP API.

Our takeaways:

  • Paubox customers love the ability to clone HIPAA compliant forms.
  • Quarantining potential spam is a valuable security feature, but minimizing false positives will enhance its effectiveness.
    • Giving end users more control over their own quarantine helps IT directors save time.
    • Some Paubox customers disable filtering on Microsoft to ensure that Paubox's inbound email security catches incoming email threats.
  • Don't use AI to write healthcare content, but rather to help with research and repetitive tasks.
  • Paubox Transcription is a significant time-saver, making it easier for customers to review phone calls quickly.
  • Paubox discontinued support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 a few years ago, as these versions are vulnerable to attacks that can compromise encryption.
    • However, Google Workspace will still deliver emails encrypted with TLS 1.0 and 1.1 against NSA guidance.
  • Most attendees are unhappy with their dictation software.
    • Using AI to automate therapy notes has several liability implications, and one attendee has stopped staff from creating notes with AI.
  • One attendee who uses Paubox's geofencing feature discovered a non-US vendor posing as a US-based one.
  • Paubox SMTP API has many use cases.

 

The bottom line: Customers count on Paubox to help keep their emails HIPAA compliant, and save time managing inbound email security challenges.
