New service offering -- secure email By Peter M. Abraham July 2003 If you are on any of our UNIX shared hosting plans, you can now send and receive email that is encrypted via a digital ID using SSL.  If you use this new feature, your email will be encrypted from and to our e-mail servers. There are two pluses to this new service offering: You can probably use your existing email program like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Eudora. You can use this new feature without any additional fees. An important point to remember is that if the contacts you are emailing do not have secure email on their side, only half of the communication will be secure (encrypted). Your email from and to our e-mail servers will be encrypted.  But if the recipient is not using secure e-mail, then from the e-mail server to their machine will be normal (non-secure, unencrypted). We've prepared written instructions including program screen shots to walk you through setting up your email program to use our digital ID to encrypt email you send and receive. If the persons you need to e-mail most securely are on an email service which does not offer secure encrypted email, think of our Refer a Friend Program, and refer them to our hosting services.  That way all parties involved can email back and forth securely knowing their email is encrypted along the journey. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
