There's another secure solution, but it's more trouble to implement. If
everyone that needs to work with secure information gets Digital IDs from
Verisign (At $14.95/yr), they can then encrypt their e-mail contents. Of
course, for someone to be able to decrypt it they will need to have their
public key on file in their contacts list.
It's what our Management and HR staff does here. Us in the IT staff only
use it to e-mail passwords and such.

Yep. I'm aware of that. Nobody accessing the server will be a
stranger though. They are all customers, and won't be entering any
secure info, just retrieving it.
But back to my other question, which seems to have gotten lost in the
shuffle.
Will this be a relatively safe way of taking credit card information
through e-mail, if the mail is generated from a form (either by
CFMAIL or FormMail.pl) on a domain on my web server? Will it go out
on the internet or will it stay local if it's sent to the same domain?
