One important thing:
*Licensing*
The OpenSSL license is not fully compatible with the GPL. We've been
talking about this earlier. After some research I've found that
libgcrypt is our best option. It's in use by quite a lot of other
projects (GnuPG for one), and is licensed using the LGPL.
It's just as easy to use as OpenSSL is :)
(BTW, I CC'ed this to dbmail-dev)
