I am the email administrator for my small company and have never dealt with any kind of cryptographic software. I have several internal users on my email server (Postfix) who have the need to send encrypted email to trusted vendors so there will be some kind of public key exchange however I don't understand where GPG fits in the puzzle and maybe someone can explain this to me. I was told on a tech forum that PGP and / or GPG both are client side applications and don't need to run on my email (Postfix) server. I contacted PGP and they explained they have a client application that runs on the users desktop that handles the key encryption and exchange however I would like to use GPG and don't understand what the steps are that need to be done.
I read their mini_howto guide: http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-1.html However this basically runs over the entire process and everything I need to install this. I am just not clear on if I need to install GPG on my email server or a stand alone server (or does it matter) and how this all works with my current system. Please pardon my ignorance and thanks for any help and or info!
