GPGrelay Description

GPGrelay is a little relaying server which interferes SMTP- and POP3-Communication that way, that transmission of emails will be signed and/or encrypted on the fly using GnuPG (The GNU Privacy Guard) with your default email-program. GPGrelay application will enable many email-clients to send and receive emails that are conform to PGP-MIME (RFC 2015, RFC 3156).But it can also handle simple emails containing normal PGP-Blocks (sometimes referred to as inlined PGP). GPGrelay is, as indicated by its name a local relaying server. It works completely transparent for your Email-Client as well as for the remote Server. Now, if you want to send emails encrypted, GPGrelay encrypts them and sends the encrypted mail to the SMTP-Server. If you receive an encrypted mail, GPGrelay does the decryption for you - so your Email-Client never sees any encrypted mails, which is quite a nice feature when your Email-Client (like Outlook Express) is not capable of handling those mails. But this also means, if an eavesdropper has access to your local environment, where Emails are stored decrypted, he can easily get access to them! But on the other hand: If an eavesdropper really is present in your local Site, he could probably setup some mechanism (Trojan Horses come to mind) to get your Keyring and the Passphrase you use...
