How to encrypt mail sent by your feedback form?


i remember i asked this once before already and never got very far.

I am looking to learn how to set up encryption for any email sent by my feedback form - not cause I am paranoid. I am just curious how that is usually done.

well its generally more complicated than what most people think, but Im sure you are capable enough... you need to research on 'PGP' (or GPG).

You dont need to encrypt your feedback unless you really are paranoid It'll be a good learning experience though. Most ppl use it to transmit sensitive data, such as credit card info etc.

There might be some OpenPGP implementations for form-mail. If you want to store the messages on your server, you could try an SSL based form and a password protected directory to store the data.

ok, i think i figured it out but just one last hurdle; how do i 'decipher' this encrypted mail using Outlook, that's still the mystery.

When you install PGP, you can install plugins for Outlook/Eudora/etc. There will be a menu entry or a button within Outlook that can be used when you receive an encrypted email. It will ask for your password and will decrypt the message.
