I'm sending a list of email addresses to a server (webservice style).
I then send emails to each of those addresses from that server. Is it
worth encrypting that list of email addresses as it goes to the server?

Not that this has anything at all to do with C#, but...

Is the server using encrypted email protocols to deliver the email? If
not, then how would encryption to the server help when delivering the
email addresses to it? If you've got someone sniffing your network and
pulling out email addresses, they can just as easily get the addresses
outbound as they can inbound.
