John, The data would be sensitive. We now have convinced the business owner that if it is that sensitive you really shouldn't be emailing it anyway. They have agreed and the issue is dead. But thanks for your input. I appreciate the responses. Thanks,

Just asking because certain information should never be sent via email. Don't want you burning time on this and make a bigger issue.

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). -dhs Dean H. Saxe, CISSP, CEH [EMAIL PROTECTED] "[T]he people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." --Hermann Goering, Hitler's Reich-Marshall at the Nuremberg Trials On Jan 18, 2008, at 9:54 AM, McTure, Greg wrote: 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. 1. Encryption method for encrypting the email content from the source (sender). 2. 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.
