That's a shotgun approach - that means you'd protect the "lunch menu" as tightly as you'd protect the SSNs that are 
sent to Financial Aid.....

Subject: [SECURITY] Email Encryption

We've been encouraged by an outside security firm to encrypt every blessed note that passes through our Exchange 
server.  This firm deals largely with entities such as banks, and I'm wondering if this is over-kill in the context of 
higher ed.

Any thoughts regarding "best practices" on this?

Thanks,

Kevin
