Re: [cobalt-developers] PGP installation and config with SSL

["Robert Spurlock" <rspurlock@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe you have it right the second time.  The message will be sent to
the person paying me to host the site.  The visitor will be putting Credit
card info into the form which will be transmitted via e-mail to the
magazine.  I want to send it securely to the magazine via e-mail.  They
don't want it displayed, just e-mailed.  If pgp or whatever is needed, what
would i get for a Linux box to do this without breaking the bank?

Thanks

Rob
