Criminal complaint against unknown persons and the operators of the De-Mail system

Criminal complaint against unknown persons and the operators of the De-Mail system, initially at 1&1 De-Mail GmbH, Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH and procilon IT-Solutions GmbH, according to §§ 268, 269, 270 StGB and all other relevant criminal offenses

For months, even years, I have been trying to report crimes committed against me to the state investigation authorities: By email, by post as a standard letter, by registered letter with advice of receipt, by fax, by lawyers: In vain, as you can read above in the cover letter and the other attached criminal complaints.

Finally, I wanted to try De-Mail:

https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/DigitaleGesellschaft/EGovernment/DeMail/DeMail.html

Now I am a customer of 1&1 De-Mail GmbH with a P.O. Box andreas.pfefferle@amp-e.de-mail.de.

After the Attorney General at the Federal Court of Justice, whom I had written to by De-Mail registered letter, declared himself to be not competent, I turned to the Karlsruhe Public Prosecutor's Office on 05/25/2020, again by De-Mail registered letter, under the address sta- karlsruhe@egvp.de - mail.de.

To my De-Mail registered letter, I immediately received a dispatch confirmation from the De-Mail system via versandbestaetigung@sec.de-mail.de:

This confirms that the message was sent to the recipient with the following information.

The confirmation was sent by sec, http://www.sec.de-mail.de.

(By the way, the URL http://www.sec.de-mail.de leads into digital nirvana.)

However, I have not received an acknowledgment of receipt for my De-Mail registered letter until today.

Therefore, I contacted the customer service of my De-Mail provider, 1&1 De-Mail GmbH, first by phone and then by email.

At first, I received an utterly pointless answer: You only receive confirmations of receipt if you select the option “registered mail“, which I had done and paid for.

After I had complained to the 1&1 customer service about this nonsense, I received a new explanation:

You only receive a confirmation of receipt if you choose the option “Personal and confidential“ – I have no idea what is technically behind this option and what the 0.24 € per message are supposed to buy me – and thus, if you succeed to comply with all legal formalities. The courts have a traffic light system that only permits the admission of De-Mail messages that have been confirmed by the sender – that is, sent with the option “Personal and confidential“.

In contradiction to this, however, I received a standard post office letter, allegedly from the Public Prosecutor's Office in Karlsruhe, dated 06/02/2020, which refers to my De-Mail registered letter and does not mention any legal formal error on my part.

Because of these discrepancies, I suspect that the De-Mail system operators are cheating me and that my messages never reach their destination.

Therefore, I sent my message again to the Public Prosecutor's Office in Karlsruhe on 06/19/2020 at 08:24 pm, as a registered letter and this time with the option “Personal and confidential“ mentioned by the customer service, taking one hundred and three other public prosecutor's offices of the Federal Republic of Germany on Cc.

I immediately received a dispatch confirmation from sec, http://www.sec.de-mail.de, and/or versandbestaetigung@sec.de-mail.de, and also in the period of approximately three minutes, between 08:26 pm and 08:29 pm, about twenty confirmations of receipt from fp-demail.de, http://www.fp-demail.de, and/or eingangsbestaetigung@fp-demail.de.

Further confirmations of receipt from fp-demail.de, http://www.fp-demail.de, and/or eingangsbestaetigung@fp-demail.de, were received between 08:47 pm and 21:46 pm.

According to my current technical understanding, the company procilon IT-Solutions GmbH maintains a De-Mail mailbox at Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH, a subsidiary of Francotyp-Postalia, to which all De-Mail messages are sent that are indirectly addressed via the De-Mail address to electronic court and administration mailboxes (EGVP).

The company procilon IT-Solutions GmbH then distributes the messages, which have ended up in the collective account at Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH, to the EGVP participants.

Presumably, Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH generates confirmations of receipt immediately when the message is deposited in the De-Mail collective mailbox of procilon IT-Solutions GmbH, although the message has not yet reached the actual EGVP recipient.

Obviously, in this system, the sender can never know whether his message has actually been delivered to the addressed EGVP participant.

Maybe my current technical understanding is wrong.

Irrespective of this, it is extremely worrying that for some registered De-Mail messages acknowledgments of receipt were generated several times and with different time stamps.

For example, I have received four confirmations of receipt from the Augsburg Public Prosecutor's Office through fp-demail.de, http://www.fp-demail.de, or eingangsbestaetigung@fp-demail.de:

Hereby it is confirmed that the message with the metadata listed below was received on 06/19/2020 at 08:57:12 pm in the mailbox of the recipient 'sta-augsburg@egvp.de-mail.de'. The message was deposited in the collective mailbox of the recipient procilon IT-Solutions GmbH.

Hereby it is confirmed that the message with the metadata listed below was received on 06/19/2020 at 08:59:00 pm in the mailbox of the recipient 'sta-augsburg@egvp.de-mail.de'. The message was deposited in the collective mailbox of the recipient procilon IT-Solutions GmbH.

Hereby it is confirmed that the message with the metadata listed below was received on 06/19/2020 at 09:12:05 pm in the mailbox of the recipient 'sta-augsburg@egvp.de-mail.de'. The message was deposited in the collective mailbox of the recipient procilon IT-Solutions GmbH.

Hereby it is confirmed that the message with the metadata listed below was received on 06/19/2020 at 09:39:04 pm in the mailbox of the recipient 'sta-augsburg@egvp.de-mail.de'. The message was deposited in the collective mailbox of the recipient procilon IT-Solutions GmbH.

And from the Karlsruhe Public Prosecutor's Office I have received three confirmations of receipt through fp-demail.de, http://www.fp-demail.de, and eingangsbestaetigung@fp-demail.de:

Hereby it is confirmed that the message with the metadata listed below was received on 06/19/2020 at 08:57:02 pm in the mailbox of the recipient 'sta - karlsruhe@egvp.de-mail.de '. The message was deposited in the collective mailbox of the recipient procilon IT-Solutions GmbH.

Hereby it is confirmed that the message with the metadata listed below was received on 06/19/2020 at 08:58:50 pm in the mailbox of the recipient 'sta - karlsruhe@egvp.de-mail.de '. The message was deposited in the collective mailbox of the recipient procilon IT-Solutions GmbH.

Hereby it is confirmed that the message with the metadata listed below was received on 06/19/2020 at 09:11:54 pm in the mailbox of the recipient 'sta - karlsruhe@egvp.de-mail.de '. The message was deposited in the collective mailbox of the recipient procilon IT-Solutions GmbH.

In total I have received one hundred and fifteen confirmations of receipt for the one hundred and four De- Mail registered messages sent: From some public prosecutor's offices none at all, from some, one, two, three, or four.

Obviously, the De-Mail system is not working correctly: I claim that this computer system has been tampered with.

When I call up the URL https://de-mail.1und1.de, I am redirected to a login page. In the source code of that page I found this tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="_files/demail-providers.js"></script>

The file _files/demail-providers.js had the following content on 06/24/2020 at 02:22 am:

var deMailProviders = ["web.de-mail.de", "gmx.de-mail.de", "drv-bund.de-mail.de", "polizei-herford-nrw.de-mail.de"];

About forty minutes later, at 03:03 am on June 24, 2020, the contents of the file _files/demail-providers.js had changed as follows:

var deMailProviders = [];

Consequently, someone must have changed the contents of this file between 02:22 am and 03:03 am on June 24, 2020.

The content of the variable deMailProviders is used in the source code of the application to determine valid De-Mail addresses. The source code checks if this variable is defined and changes its behavior accordingly.

The obviously optional presence of the file _files/demail-providers.js, which can be used to influence the behavior of the 1&1 De-Mail web application, corroborates my suspicion that the system has been manipulated.

This suspicion is further confirmed by the initially completely pointless mentioning of the Herford Police in the source code of the 1&1 De-Mail web application and the modification of the file _files/demail- providers.js file at nighttime.
