hey there,



hehe. i hoped noone would say that.
how can we ever get to the point where all mailservers support tls, when
people always say "makes no sense, the other one doesn't encrypt".

This is pointless. For proper mail security, it's end-to-end security,
hence a matter of the client. And if the clients en/decrypt the
messages, there's no point in the servers doing it again.


hm, i see... that's definitely not what i thought of, but it opens a lot
of possibilities. i can push my users to gpg :)

You might also want to consider X.509 certificates, which many (most?) mail programs support.
