Yes, it would. Again - is there value for that with trusted business partners?
Obviously, you should do whatever meets the needs of your business. But I also encourage you to examine cost/benefit ratios.

From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B. Smith Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 1:27 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Exchange] RE: Encryption by domain question My answer doesn't change. Why wouldn't you use your on-premises servers directly for TLS communications? They are both coming from and being sent to a trusted business partner. What value is there to having a third-party involved? But sure, other clouds can do this. CloudMark, Symantec, Barracuda, Vircom - if you can name a cloud provider, they can probably do this. It is a common feature. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Binner, Lori A Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 2:18 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Exchange] RE: Encryption by domain question Thanks, but perhaps I didn't clarify this well enough or I very well may not be understanding this as I'm no expert on this topic. We currently have a third-party vendor whose servers spam/anti-virus filter & accept/deliver our emails for us. Everything is set up TLS on our/their server end, but due to doing business with some larger companies who are beginning to demand to make sure email communications between them & us are fully encrypted is why I'm looking into this. Our current vendor can provide encryption with a PGP server they have that relies on me adding a user(s) here as a licensed PGP user for their system & user then has to remember to type in a keyword to trigger encryption for any emails they want encrypted (typing encrypt). Some of the larger company/customers we are beginning to do business with are in some instances requiring that all email communications between any of our company users sent to them be encrypted. Our current vendor's encryption is not flexible to allow us to encrypt all emails sent from our domain to customer's domain, so that's why we'd like to find another enterprise cloud has this capability. Our Exchange servers here are on premise. We've been told that if we were to use Exchange Online Protection, we could configure one of its transport rules to accomplish this. However, we want to investigate if there are other Enterprise spam/encryption products that can also do this so we can make a fair comparison. Thanks.
