I think you missed the point of *mine*. :-) There is no silver bullet for security. You cannot buy a product or service and thereby achieve any level of security. You cannot apply diligence to just one small part of the puzzle and achieve any level of security. You said you need to exchange email with clients. I presume those clients are independent operators, over which you have no control. In that situation, you cannot guarantee *ANY* level of security, because the problems lie not with the technology, but how it is being used. If you really want "secure email", I suspect you'll need to radically change how you use email. And I'm pretty sure that is not going to happen. Which means you're not going to have "secure email". Period. If the goal is to just spend some money and buy a product, they go ahead and buy whatever looks good. :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
