Clear about what it does and doesn't.
The gateway runs on a Debian host you control. Nothing in the mail path depends on Rubix.
Stored messages are encrypted at rest with a key generated on your host. It never leaves it.

Before you ask
How is this different from a hosted encryption service?
Hosted services run the encryption and storage on their infrastructure. Secure Message runs on yours, with the key on your host. If you'd rather not run a server, a hosted service may be the better fit, or ask about managed hosting by request.
Do recipients need to install anything?
No. They open a link and enter a one-time code sent to their inbox. The portal is a Professional feature.
Can we try it free?
Yes. Community is free for one domain and one administrator, and covers inbound filtering.
Protect email on your terms.
