Is that true also for servers belonging to different sites,
connected using a site connector?

Thanks

What exactly does this require (something need to be done on the 
Exchange server?)?  And how does it relate/compare with PGP?

hmm, now that I look at the screen that John mentioned, that's 
different from what I was looking at.  What I was asking about 
in .4 is in Tools->Options->Security, but what I'm looking at does 
not appear to be choosable for me -- perhaps because we don't have a 
"Key Management Server"??  

804.6traffic vs. message encryptionPARZVL::ogodhcp-124-40-99.ogo.dec.com::kennedynuncam non paratusWed May 21 1997 19:2117
Yes, this topic was original discussing the encryption
of message traffic (for lack of a better word) between
Exchange servers and from clients to servers.  That
will prevent someone sniffing packets from reading
the data.

The last 2 questions by Mr. Vore refer to encryption
of a message between the sender & recipient (so that
a 3rd party who intercepted the message could not
read the contents).  This is what you choose on 
Tools -> Options -> Security. We do not yet have a
security server installed.

I think the main way it differs is that its limited
to within an Exchange organization, so would not 
support encryption & signing of messages to non-Exchange
users, at least in V4.0 of Exchange.

.6 - Thanks for confirming what I thought I was reading "between the 
lines"
