Dear colleagues, I could find the following FAQ article on S/MIME in OTRS http://faq.otrs.org/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&CategoryID=41&ItemID=79 It states that encryption can be used on external emails provided I have the customer's public key. It looks like it's a solution to my company tickets disclosure problem. I'm implementing a small test case now. I'll get back with the outcome soon.
