    James,

    Most mail systems handle keys for signing and encrypting mail, it's the
    hashing of the key, the sharing as it were of key pairs that allow this to
    occur between two hosts. Someone posted this:
    www.keyserver.net
    Free PGP key exchange server
     A while back and looks to be a fine solution to PGP now charging for
    encryption and key share if you are to use a solution, A Thawte key will
    also work fine if the recipient has received signed mail from a sender and
    has the sender's public key associated with their mail address. However they
    do say it's for personal mail not business mail. Anyway IMHO a public key
    exchange gets you signed mail and encryption and public interoperability. It
    standard it's clean and it works.

    Hi

    Does anyone have any experience of an appliance that does email encryption?
    I need something that does both SMIME and PGP (and maybe others) encryption
    that comes on a dedicated device.

    Thanks

    JM
