This means the cyrus-imap server would need access to the necessary key to decrypt the mailbox's contents before sending them to the client. And root would have access to that key as well. This would only work to avoid "accidental" email readings done by root. The best way is to make the user encrypt his/her own emails whenever needed. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
