Ciphire Mail emphasizes automation. They have taken a slightly
different to e-mail authentication and encryption. They claim not to
be just another OpenPGP or S/MIME variant of public-key encryption.

Review issues with some antispam and antivirus products before
installing.


Site Excerpts

Ciphire Mail is an email encryption tool. It works in conjunction with
your existing email client. Ciphire Mail operates seamlessly in the
background and does not interfere with normal emailing routines. It
encrypts and decrypts email messages, and can digitally sign each
message to provide authentication and guard against identity theft.
Ciphire Mail is the first out-of-the box solution to match power with
ease of use.

* Ciphire Mail is the first easy-to-use cryptographic solution securing
email communications.
* The Ciphire Mail client resides on your computer, between your email
client and your email server, transparently encrypting/decrypting and
digitally signing your email communication.
* It runs on Windows 2000/XP, Linux, and Mac OS X.
* Ciphire Mail is compatible with all email clients using standard
SMTP, POP3, or IMAP4 (including SSL/TLS variants and STARTTLS support)
·
* Support for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes will follow shortly.

The Ciphire Mail gateway and proxy server are being tested internally
and will be available for commercial evaluation in the near future.

-----

Ciphire Mail will always be free for private users, non-profit
organizations, educational institutions, and the press. There is no
secret plan to dupe users into installing Ciphire Mail now, and then
charge them later. Free means free. We will be offering a commercial
version of Ciphire Mail in the second quarter of 2005 for enterprise
and government networks.

May be legitimate, but this would be a good way to silently BCC messages
and decode them later with a master key for quick searching, as well.
Trust it with caution, IMHO!

Also, never send anything that you want kept private over the Net!

Hell, privacy today is basically enough of a joke as it is, with all of the
unscrupulous fingers at data terminals, the owners of which will gladly
sell your "private" data of all types to anyone, for peanuts.
