[Mailman-Developers] PGP support for MM3

Hello everybody,

I'd like to see PGP support for MM3 but I thought it might be a little to early to file an issue.

My original motivation was a setup of a full encrypted mailing list. I'm well aware of the fact that it provides not the security a full end-to-end encrypted communication provides, but for some people (including me) it is an acceptable compromise.

Encrypted mailing for groups of people is still a mess in 2016:

• Either the group is relatively static or you never encrypt the mail for all people.
• All members need to know each other. And you need the keys of all the other members.

So far for the motivation. Below there are some initial thoughts:

**Treat mail differently based on their signing status:**

1. Whether it has a signature or not.
2. Whether the signature is valid or not.
3. Whether the signing key matches the key of the list member.

**Treat mail differently based on their encryption status**

Whether it is encrypted or not.

**Other opportunities**

1. A public key per list.
2. Signing of outgoing mails with that list key.
3. Encryption of outgoing mails with that list key.
4. Send a mail with the lists public key on request.

Which one of these points a worth an implementation?

Regards

Dominik
