Opening statement is at customtracks.com

Some parts I found interesting:

While not making predictions, it is easy to construct scenarios in which 10,000,000 to 50,000,000 email addresses would use ZixMail. This equates to annual revenues of $120 million to $600 million.

This is pure fantasy.

Second, Is there a key escrow for ZixMail?

In order to obtain worldwide encryption export approval from the Commerce Department - for encryption that the National Security Agency cannot break - there is a requirement that a secure key escrow be established, normally with a "trusted third party". This escrow can be accessed only by court order from a federal court of competent jurisdiction.

CustomTracks has been approved to be its own “trusted third party”. The escrowed keys, however, are encrypted by public key cryptography and can only be decrypted by a private key that is unknown to CustomTracks or ZixMail.


KEY ESCROW! That is POISON in the encryption market. These guys have no clue.
