Most email clients are pretty easy to use with respect to S/MIME... Once you get the certificates installed. PKI. Managing certificates for a decent-sized luser base is not fun.
And from our experience S/MIME standards are just standard within the same product family. Outlook's S/MIME and Netscape's S/MIME won't work together the last time we tried.
What do other Win/Exchange/Outlook IT admins use for S/MIME?
GnuPG (OpenPGP standard) ?
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.
A number of gateway servers. There is (was?) a software package from the GnuPG group. There is the T/Bone gateway (at freshmeat - and from http://www.bonelabs.com/). Utimaco has a crypto-gateway, too. Usually you'll want a single company-wide key when using a gateway to ensure confidential mail across the internet. This way you'll have plaintext emails via LAN though - if not using TLS. Bye Volker Tanger ITK Security _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
