6 recipients at our end; and the system is simple.
it's not complicated in the theory nor the implementation
an email arrives in the inbox.
the system looks every ten minutes for new emails.
if it is encrypted with the correct key it is decoded; if it is not encrypted
it is dumped
decrypted email is passed to a holding place for the EHR to sort
(horst doesn't rely on that bit; his puts in the database).
and unlike the radiology system foisted on us it works.
the radiology system is java based, it calls up a remote server and looks for
our stuff, finds it and gives it to us.
I don't think that it is encrypted, merely password protected
but for the last two days the remote site has been unavailable so we haven't
had any radiology results arrive.
(I'm quite sure a python script could do the same job without the involved
mess of the java and the several gigabytes of code involved too)
