I would like to create a *really* robust email setup. My end-goal is to always have an imap server available to me that holds an encrypted copy of *all* my historic email on *all* accounts, filtered into a mailbox hierarchy. I was thinking along the lines of having several prioritized mailservers with procmail installed. Procmail should call a pgp-library to encrypt any incoming email to my public key. It should then filter the headers and place the encrypted mail in a specified mailbox file. Because I want decryption done at the client-end (private-key-security and anti-sniffing), the only option I can think of is using IMAP with a client-side PGP plugin.. Are there any docs out there that will give me pieces of what I need? I think I have a problem when one mailserver goes down and comes back up later. The email will no longer be synchronized. I'd love to receive a clue on how-not-to-create-that-problem, or on how-to-fix-it ;-) I'd like to stress the requirement that says I want all my email available to me at all times. I can promise to write a HowTo on this subject which might benefit others aswell.. And lastly, I'd like to get as many viewpoints as possible on this matter, so gimme your .02 ;-) Greets, Rene.
