Hi there, just a quick question...

 

I am building a secure website and I'm using the php mail() function to email personal details which I would like to keep safe from hackers/sniffers ect. The site is https and has ssl crt. The form data entered by the user is encrypted and then sent to the server where it is decrypted. Some of this data is then emailed to me. What I wanted to know was, is this data I'm sending through the mail() function encrypted by default or do I need to do something else to encrypt it?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

SSL has nothing to do with email. For encrypted email you need something like PGP on your server.

 

Take a look at:
