I am currently searching for the best application or service to provide
end to end security for delivering encrypted emails from one company to
another accross the Internet. I need the solutions to provide Smime,
PGP, TLS, SSL, etc.

My goal is to some how have the app or user decide if the email needs
to be encrypted, then apply a cert which can be maintained. The email
then sent to the recpt. who then decryptes the message using either of
these options. I hope that the gateway can negotiation which type to
use with the other gateway/exchange server.

If the negotiation fails then just send an email with a link back to an
SSL web server so the email is still encrypted. This needs to work for
all companys including people with hotmail, yahoo, etc. accounts.

I am currently looking at:
sigaba
Tumbleweed
Iron Mail
Hushmail
utimaco

In this exact order

Does anyone have experience with these products or trying to secure the
company external email?

hotmail, yahoo, etc. are running standard ESMTP servers; ESMTP does
not have any option to negotiate security (plain SMTP doesn't either,
which is important because your solution has to work for "all companys".)

I seem to recall hearing of proposed extensions to ESMTP to
negotiate security, but I do not recall any details, and I have never
encountered any system that implimented such an extension. [DoD might
perhaps have implimented such a thing...]
