Hi
Check out email2, a Canadian product, and see if it fits the bill.

I've used Proofpoint in the past and currently using Fortimail.  I liked the Proofpoint when I had it installed (as 
recently as last month) but it's pricey.  Fortimail is more reasonable.  Sophos has a nice product that I've looked at 
also.  Both the Proofpoint and Fortimail solutions provide a secure web portal to retrieve encrypted email.  All the 
user has to do is go to the site and register one time.

I *really* like the way that Sophos does this. It just encrypts the email into a PDF and the user registers on the web 
portal.  I've yet to have a novice user have a problem with it, and as much as we dislike the fact that everyone has a 
PDF reader on their system, it does mean that everyone has a decryption client.

The drawback, of course, is that it's appliance-based and needs to either be racked or run in a VM infrastructure.  If 
you need a cloud-based solution, the only other one I have experience with is Zix.

Hi all,

I have a need to send sensitive information to customers in a B2C environment; this is a very computer illiterate 
crowd.  Does anyone have experience with services like SSLPost.com<http://SSLPost.com>?  Basically this just sends an 
email with a link to an online application for decrypting and viewing the message.

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a better solution for sending encrypted emails to a large, disparate user base 
without requiring any client-side installation?

Thanks,

Chris
