Subject: [Full-disclosure] SMTP Encryption (S/MIME) for Outlook
question[Scanned]

No flames here please.  I've just been asked about running some form of
encryption on our mail clients (Outlook) to send encrypted SMTP across the
Internet and would like some opinions/directions.

Our userbase isn't that technical so we'd need something that is pretty user
friendly (I know, divergent goals) but is still secure to a point.

I don't know the exact details on their goals other than preventing random
eavesdropping (sniffing) of clear-text SMTP traffic across the Internet to a
remote, non-internal destination.

What do other Win/Exchange/Outlook IT admins use for S/MIME?  

BTW, if there's something that will run on top of the SMTP gateway server or
the internal Exchange server to encrypt the message before being routed to
the Internet, this is also acceptable.  I figure there must be something
available that works like this.

TIA,
