While not an universal answer, i feel the need to defend the encrypted transport a little: When a domain is handled by an isp, that domains internal mail will often be handled by a MTA and MDA combination both provided by the same isp. In this case the transports of internal mail can be encrypted all the way. But as you point out, we cannot be ensured of it when mail is transported between unknown MTA's and/or the receivers routines is unknown to you. In this case transport-encryption is not reliable, but should we not anyway make it difficult for casual listeners in any transports we can? -- Med vennlig hilsen Lars Kristiansen A D V E N T U R A S Tlf: 22 20 59 90 Fax: 22 20 59 91 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.adventuras.no -- "Ultimatily it may be the business men of the world who keep it from beeing destroyed."
