I am using mailx command to send automated emails from the Unix to Lotus notes. Recently we got a requirement to send all emails as encrypted emails. I am not sure how I can encrypt an email using unix. Please help!!

Thanks

Perhaps your requirement can be satisfied if you simply encrypt the communications link between the unix server and the lotus notes server.

If so, you might want to look into IPSEC or SSL.

Thank you Neo!

We are installing and configuring Tunnelling software (like HP-UX Secure Shell A.03.81) on our unix server. This will allow us to send the encrypted emails from Unix server to any mail server.

Excellent.

I think the tunnel approach is a good one. It is simple and relatively easy to maintain.

You might consider an IPSEC tunnel as well.
