I'm wondering how much work it would take to add the ability to optionally encrypt the Courier mail spool.
This would involve encrypting the email at the last possible moment before writing it into the 'new' directory, and decrypting it when it is accessed via pop or imap. Ideally, this would be optional, and controlled by configuration parameters. Mail in transit or which is being piped to other processes would remain in plain text; only when Courier is writing a message to disk would it be optionally encrypted. I would imagine that the maildrop utility would also have this optional capability. Perhaps this could be handled via a filter that gets invoked right before a message is written to disk, and a corresponding filter that gets invoked during the reading of messages via pop and imap. These filters could be treated as plugins, perhaps. Anyway, I'm just wondering about the feasibility of something like this. Would it be easy to add this to Courier, or would it require lots of refactoring of the code?
