okay, I'll use small words: No. You are wrong. When my internal machines all use SMTP/TLS, the mail (and by mail I mean SMTP mail leaving my computer) goes to my server ENCRYPTED. Now that's a long word, but I'll risk it. End to end encryption for SMTP (via ports 25 or 587 for SENDING and 995 for GETTING the mail). At no time is it on the network (LAN or Internet) is it in the clear. The mail is ALWAYS encrypted. Now stop wasting my bandwidth with PGP signatures that I have no way of verifying (or any care to verify - it doesn't matter).
