We could certainly discuss all that here.
The way I switched it on in 2.1.15 was by way of configuration variable in mm_cfg.py containing a global AES secret key. This can be added to mm_cfg.py by running a key generation script in the runtime mm bin directory. Absent this variable, the feature is moot since all relevant code gets bypassed. > >To do this I need to set up a test installation of mm 3 which actually > >works, and delivers mail to a test list.

I'll probably work on it since I can't seem to leave projects like this alone. One caveat/issue with the work I've done so far is that it requires the python-crypto module. This is no problem on Linux, possibly not on other Unix-like OSes, but from what I've read, the module has longstanding issues on a Windows platform. This might be a show-stopper.
