Is there a recipe that can encrypt all incoming mail with gnupg using my
public key, so that my mail is competely safe from even the root account
on that server?

That would be the same root account which can't simply tweak the alias on your account and make a copy of all your incoming mail?

Or are you talking about the root account which can't simply disable the procmailrc file, causing newly arriving mail to not be encrypted?

Or perhaps you mean the root account which can't monitor your shell session for your private key?


Yes, if you know the syntax of the program invocation, it should be doable. In all likelyhood, you'll need to fully encrypt each message (body AND headers together), wrapping them in a new message (since you'd need to thrash the Content-Type/encoding). Sort out how you'd perform what you want at a shell prompt (preferrably with a pipe, not intermediate files), then go from there.
