Thanks for the info Chris, I looked at the PGP but it is not free for comercial use but they are willing to pay for a solution. Management of all those keys and the user issues are the real problem in the long run. I was thinking that there may be a soloution that worked like a PGP key at the desktop that works at the server end. I think this would encrpyt all the mail with the same key possibly ??
