this brought up somethign i was having problems with last night.

I've written a filter for perl that accepts mail just as it's about to be
written to a transport, finds the body, encrypts it (using specified
users public key), and then writes it to the mailspool, all very easy in
exim.

This is essentially what my dissertation is supposed to be doing.
However, I have yet to decide whether to go down the PGP route, or to
use something like OpenSSL to create key pairs.  My system has to be
cross-platform, meaning whatever I use, I have to be able to access it
under UNIX systems, Window and possibly Macs as well.  It also has to be
easy to install, otherwise nobody will install it (think InstallShield).

I've got my work cut out, I think.

eek, sounds fun ;)

<snip about PGP/GPG compatibility>

Have you had a look at the GnuPG documentation yet?  I seem to remember
both GPG and PGPfW follow the OpenPGP standard, so they should be
completely interoperable.  In theory.

yeah - though seeing as i'm using the Crypt::OpenPGP perl module, (which 
follows rfc2440), it seems most odd.  The even stranger thign is GnuPG 
doesn't mind it at all, only pgpfw barfs.
