RE: Email Encryption Between Servers

Caution:  Shameless plug ahead.

I've been following this discussion, and I would suggestion you check out the solution at www.omniva.com.

I'm on the engineering side here - not sales - and I have been in systems management for quite some time.

Our solution lets you create a PKI-like solution without a lot of the administrative overhead.

Subject: Email Encryption Between Servers


We are attempting to set up secure e-mail with our partner companies to
comply with the upcoming HIPAA requirements.  I would like to find a way to
encrypt all e-mail going between our mail server and our partners.  We are
using Exchange.  Some of our partners are also using Exchange and some are
using other SMTP servers.

Is there a way to automatically force all e-mail between our two e-mail
servers (either Exchange to Exchange or Exchange to SMTP) to be encrypted
then decrypted on arrival with no end user intervention?   If there are,
what affect, if any will these encryption methods have on our overall
network security.

Thanks for your help,
