[quote shadow]Funny, I would define any email host that allows 100MB attachments as "bad" and "incompetent", not "good". For SMTP, 100MB is a ridiculous size. Personally, I set my domains to block anything over 5MB (in or out).
Even hotmail allowed more than 5MB 10 years ago. I think 100MB is not that big anymore.
The information doesn't need any sort of encryption.
I agree it wouldn't be a lot of work. But it's not my choice to make. Email is the only method the group allows.

Please tell me that email is merely the selected transport and it is NOT being used as certification as the data is not encrypted nor secure. Hopefully, they are using GPG or similar before sending.

If so, no matter what is on the other end, it would be trivial to add additional transports on top of the current one. It would be pretty simple to add a sFTP server and scanning app that would sit in between the sender and the receiving SMTP server.
