I have been researching the availability of e-mail security information
on the newsgroups and have found that it does exist. However, the
information is peppered over several newsgroups of varying technical
depth. Typically the discussions are too technical for the "common"
end-user.

A typical end-user and/or e-mail application implement has several areas
of security with which to be concerned.

1. Privacy
2. Authentication
3. Authorization (DRM)
4. PKI
5. Spam
6. Trojans
7. Worms
8. Encryption (link vs. end-to-end)

There are newsgroups available for almost, if not, all of these topics.
  However, there currently (to my knowledge) exists no single source of
discussion for these topics as they pertain to the security of e-mail
communications.

I am currently researching a proposal to create a newsgroup for the
purpose of discussing security technologies specific to e-mail, and
appreciate your candid opinion.

Thanks!
