Guys,
This is easily solved through public key encryption. Unfortunately,
its usage is not widespread, even in the security community. Go
figure. Check out PGP and GPG for more info. Alternatively, use a
mail server like Tumbleweed (tumbleweed.com iirc).

Hi Clint:
I haven’t a business need to work with such an issue yet but in just
quickly thinking about your issue I would consider the following
factors.
Encryption method for encrypting the email content from the source
(sender).
The ability of the recipient’s email client to be able to decrypt
the mail content upon receipt.
I’m not sure if this readily feasible but I would think the email
recipient would need to be aware of the encryption schema being used
and possibly need a “key” on their end to decrypt the email
content. This would likely require no manual process by the
recipient. If this were to be an automated process of decryption on
the recipient end, (in just quickly thinking through the process) I
would start to look at some way in which I could poll a specific
location for the email to go to and when an email is received invoke
some process to decrypt the email for the recipient.
Have you checked to see if there is a custom tag that will help or
conducted a search to see what encryption/decryption options Outlook/
Exchange has? It may be worth giving that a look as well.

How would I go about encrypting email when using the cfmail tag?
