That's about the only environment where it's feasible to deploy S/MIME.

That's not intended as a snarky reply, it's serious.  You set up an S/MIME
gateway to deal with it, and all of the tech issues are handled by the
sysadmins without the users having to get involved.

The protocol for user-level email encryption is called STARTTLS.
