Zusammenfassung:	According to certain embodiments, a delivery manager (30) comprises an interface (510) and processing circuitry (520). The interface (510) is configured to receive a certificate that a Domain Name Service (DNS) (40) associates with a DNS name of a recipient system (20B). The processing circuitry (520) is configured to distribute the certificate to a plurality of sending systems (20A, 20N). Each sending system (20A, 20N) is configured to store the certificate in a local memory of the sending system (20A, 20N), use the certificate from the local memory of the sending system (20A, 20N) to perform encryption in response to a future determination to send an encrypted message to the recipient system (20B), and send the encrypted message directly to the recipient system (20B).
