So you mean something like this:

GEAM is a specialized mail transport agent (MTA) which takes care of
encrypting all messages leaving your company. Encryption can be
configured using flexible configuration files (similar to the email
aliases file). Incoming mail can optionally be decrypted when the
decryption key has been installed. The software uses the PGP/MIME
standard (RFC3156) for handling the mail; in the near future support
for S/MIME will also be available.
GEAM is transparent for a user and can be used to make email
communication much more secure without the need for training all
users. Migration to desktop based encryption can easily be done on
a per user base.
