Is there any support in any version of Mailman for total end to end message security? This would involve being able to send, say, a GPG (or PGP) encrypted post to a list, using the list's public key, having the list decrypt it, and then repost it to all subscribers, encrypted for each using their respective public keys.
Granted that such a facility would be a system resources suck of an order of magnitude greater than a simple, unencrypted list, however I can see that it might well be useful in some cases. It would also, in the current political climate, doubtless be deemed to be something close to a national security threat, and even discussing the idea might attract DHS attention. I do recall that some years ago that Phil Zimmerman, who invented PGP, was the subject of a criminal investigation since the PGP algorithm was deemed by the US government to be "weapon" subject to export controls. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Behold!
