Have you guys looked at GnuPG/X.509 encryption, i.e. someone sends a message to the list, and instead of just blonking it out to all members it checks a table for email address and GnuPG key/X.509 cert, and if found encrypts the email to that user with their key. It would be a nice optional feature.

There has been some traffic on the idea before, yes. The main problem is that someone has to implement it :) The mailman development team basically consists of Barry, who also has two other fulltime jobs. I'm pretty certain Barry would accept a patch that implemented it, and if not, I'd rewrite it to suit his wishes and slip it in when he's not looking :)
Of course, I also have two other fulltime jobs ;P
