    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,
