Description-en: Forwards re-encrypted PGP/GPG mail to a group
Gpg-remailer is somewhat similar to ordinary mailing list software, but all
e-mail processed by gpg-remailer is PGP/GPG signed and encrypted.
.
Gpg-remailer decrypts received PGP/GPG messages, verifies the received
signature and re-encrypts the e-mail for the members of a well defined group
of recipients. Using gpg-remailer the list of members of a group of people
who want to exchange encrypted and authenticated e-mail can be maintained at
one location, allowing the members of the group to specify just one e-mail
address to send PGP/GPG signed and encrypted e-mail to.
.
Gpg-remailer recognizes the following e-mail formats:
* Standard simple encrypted messages.
* Multi-part encrypted messages.
* Encrypted messages containing detached signatures.
