Citrix ShareFile offers a nice encryption solution that I’m evaluating at the 
moment.

We’ve been using Sharefile for many years purely as a hosted file sharing 
solution, but we’ve had a recent request to support encrypted email, and 
ShareFile offers this with one or two of their corporate plans.  It’s 
implemented as an Outlook plugin, and users simply turn on encryption from a 
control added to the Outlook ribbon.  It sends an email to the recipient with a 
link to the site and instructions how to create an account and retrieve the 
message.  External users can route responses through the encryption service, as 
well.  Both the message itself and any attachments will be encrypted.

The other nice feature is that it can be configured to automatically redirect 
oversize attachments to the file sharing service, rather than have messages 
that exceed the size limit fail.

Not free, but what is?

Subject: [NTSysADM] Encrypting File Attachments

We have a need to encrypt certain files before sending them via e-mail either 
within our system or to addresses outside our system.  The receiver would need 
to open the file without having any special software on their machines.  Does 
anyone have suggestions for what we can use?

Thanks.
