Just to clarify something here. For the enterprise solution, do you
envisage having one/many servers minting all email being sent outside
the organisation (I'm assuming that internal mail won't have have to
stamped as it is trusted), or do you see a solution where each client
PC runs its own minter?
Ideally, minting happens at the MUA. But for a slow-moving enterprise,
an MTA-based solution may be far easier to implement in the short term.
It should be noted that an MTA-based solution is only feasible with a
zero-UI design.
A very large organisation may well find it cheaper and easier to put in
a rack of Xserves to handle stamps and signatures, than to roll out an
MUA upgrade to every desktop to do the same job.
