Re: Encrypted email service for B2C clients

[Josh More <jmore () starmind org>]

I *really* like the way that Sophos does this. It just encrypts the email
into a PDF and the user registers on the web portal.  I've yet to have a
novice user have a problem with it, and as much as we dislike the fact that
everyone has a PDF reader on their system, it does mean that everyone has a
decryption client.

The drawback, of course, is that it's appliance-based and needs to either
be racked or run in a VM infrastructure.  If you need a cloud-based
solution, the only other one I have experience with is Zix.
