xsend, xget, enroll − secret mail (available only if the Encryption layered product is installed)

Syntax

xsend person
xget

Description

This reference page describes software that is available only if the Encryption layered product is installed. 

These commands implement a secure communication channel on a local machine.  Mail sent using xsend is the same as mail but no one can read the message except the intended recipient.

To receive messages use, enroll. The enroll command asks for a password that you must enter to receive secret mail.

To receive secret mail use, xget. The xget command asks for your password, then gives you the messages.

To send secret mail, use xsend in the same manner as the ordinary mail command; however, xsend will accept only one target. A message announcing the receipt of secret mail is sent by ordinary mail.
