Secure email is like secure telephone, its the phone not the system that =
is secure. In other words you can put an encryption device on a phone = and
make a "secure" phone call but the phone system itself is not =
secure. So when speaking about an email server it's stupid to use the =
term "secure" since it's part of an insecure system. You can have
secure = email without the server (pgp).

On the "running separately" comment, I mean you can run a group
calender = or share folders or LDAP on a machine that is separate from the
mail = server. Since the mail server must talk to other external machines
it = seems to me that keeping it as clean and simple as possible is a more
= secure way to do things.

     Secure in this context means a secure channel.  You can provide =
email access without exposing your whole email infrastructure to the =
Internet.  Someone using this would not be safe from you sending a = stupid
email.  I didn't touch on content filtering.

     All of the things I mentioned are part of the "critical =
communications channel" as you call it.  What do you mean by
"running = them separately"?
