    I have a problem with the enigmail add-on and the version of Kaspersky
    antivirus and Thunderbird. And exactly from version 19 (that is, from
    the version in force in 2019). When creating a new e-mail, they
    constantly started popping up windows with the message "cannot guarantee
    authenticity of the domain to which encrypted connection is
    established". Provided recipient's certificate and in principle the
    domain is valid.

    If I turn off enigmail in thunderbird, this message is missing when
    sending mail, which is good.

    Basically, when you send an email every time, this window pops up.
    Whatever I do not do in Caspian, the mail is sent to the addressee.

    Kasperski's support claims that everything is ok and there is nothing to
    improve. In principle, it is very annoying and inconvenient.

    Does enigmail in any way check the domain or address of the recipient on
    the internet when creating a new email?

    I am asking for help in solving the problem.

    I have tested it on several computers and it is identical.

    Enigmail does a WKD-Lookup for every email address you enter to find out if the message can automatically be encrypted. You can turn off WKD-Lookups by setting the preference "extensions.enigmail.autoWkdLookup" to 0 (in the Thunderbird Config Editor).
