Pretty Good Privacy Sendmail
Release 2 (21 March 1994)
PGPSendmail is a small tool, to encrypt your outgoing e-mail
automatically, using PGP. Despite the name, PGPSendmail does *not* handle any
transport stuff, but requires the original sendmail.
PGPSendmail scans through the outgoing mail and checks whether a public
key is available for the receipient(s). Multiple receipients via `To:' or
`Cc:' are supported. If a key is available, a requester will pop up, asking
you if you'd like to encrypt the mail. When you choose the "encrypt" gadget,
the message-body will be encrypted and the result will be sent to sendmail to
handle the routing and transport.
Since PGPSendmail is only a front-end, it can be used in any kind of
setup. It doesn't matter whether you use AmiTCP, UUCP or whatever to deliver
your mail, PGPSendmail can be customized for your requirements.
The encrypted message will look like this:
Automatically encrypted message-body follows:
