RE: Email Encryption Between Servers

[Craig Humphrey <Craig.Humphrey () ChapmanTripp com>]

Some people have already mentioned using various forms of VPN, but there are
also other products that either plug-in to Exchange 2000, or act at a
gateway between Exchange and the Internet.

We use MailMarshal from Marshal Software (recently acquired by NetIQ), which
is a great product, supporting mail filtering as well as gateway to gateway
encryption, plus a host of other features.  It can either be integrated with
Exchange2000, or act as a relay between the Internet and Exchange (5.x or
2000).
