I for one would like sendmail integrated with PGP. For example: sendmail asks receiving server if it has PGP, and please give your public key, I have mail for you.. Then send the e-mail encrypted, while the receiving sendmail decrypts it and delivers forwards. This is not very effective, but it would help some.
I think this is a great idea. First time I'll play with making a POP client (an idea that appeals to me once in a while) I'll think about it...
Wouldn't it be more efficient to use TLS or SSH as an encryption protocol between the POP3d and the POP3 client? This could also be used for sendmail<->sendmail transactions. This still does not address local storage on the POP3d server. I am looking to setting up procmail to automatically PGP encrypt incomming messages and the forwarding them to a local account so even if the sender does not have PGP once the message is received by the PGP mail forwarder the messages will be PGP encrypted (I have had several people contact me looking for solutions to ISP's snooping on their mail without relying on the senders using PGP). - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
