They're nothing secure about email, but I think I know what you're 
getting at.  You need a secure way of exposing a very small, very 
limited part of your network to a single client.  We do this all the 
time using VPN tunnels, but that may be appropriate for you.

Now, if you were planning on them sending the data in an encrypted 
file attached to the email, then we're back to talking about email as 
a secure medium.

Yeah, we have several jobs that pole every seconds.  It's a pain, but 
sometimes keeping it simple involves a little pain.
