[bug-anubis] [NOT_A_BUG] Is GNU/Anubis that, what I'm looking for?

Hello,
acutally this is not a bug in GNU/Anubis.
I've a question: I'm looking for a solution, which signs&crypts all
outgoing mails of a company. The solution should support gpg and s/mime
encryption. It should even decrypt and verify incoming e-mails. In one
word: It should act as an e-mail gateway!
Is it possible to use Anubis for such a szenario?

Best regards
 
Niko Thome

Well, that's Anubis :-) But you have to think very carefully about
*how* you change messages. If there's a 40Mb attachment, do you crypt
and sign that? If the outgoing message is plaintext, do you convert it
to MIME so you can include a signature, or do you sign the plaintext?
And, which scheme do you use for signing? Is it dependant on the
recipient, the sender, or the content?

It's not traditional to use Anubis for incoming email; perhaps you
could use it in between the external MTA and the internal one; but I
expect this would be a different invocation/daemon to the outgoing one.
It's easy to have multiple daemons and difficult to set only one up for
everything.
