For such an issue encryption is a better solution. Even going straight from your system to the advertised MX record you don't really know how many or which systems your message may pass through. In addition if some one wanted to eaves drop they could access one of the many routers your message passes through and capture it that way. Without encryption the message goes in plain text. Any expectation of privacy when sending email should be corrected. There is none. -- Scot L.
