Hi John,

If an organization wants to exchange email securely with another
organization, one option is to just encrypt the connection between the
two mail servers using TLS. It seems that individually encrypted email
messages is only indicated if your security requirements are high and
you need to ensure that only the recipient of the message can read it.

Considering the cost/benefit, encrypted SMTP transmission via TLS
seems a good solution. But only you can decide what your security
requirements are.

Yours,

Zac
