Sending IRM Protected Mails

Question
-
Is it possible at all to send IRM protected mails programatically. We are willing to use Exchange Web Services or MAPI Libraries as long as we can send an IRM Protected Mail
Note - I did look at all the related topics and also discussions on the ASP.Net dev forum and do not find a solution. This is a core Exchange scneario

My understanding of IRM is that it uses Transport Rules to reference any IRM templates you have designated. So if you message passes through Exchange and the Transport Rules are applied to the message, then you should be able to apply IRM to those emails. You just need some kind of parameter that the rule can pick up on to apply your template.

IRM is supported in Outlook for Mac which uses EWS so it should be possible to send an IRM/Read an IRM protected message attachment using EWS. However there isn't anything within EWS that provides any support for creating or reading the encrypted Attachment see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/4581b5d0-f1e3-49b1-b485-85ab9d04e5b5/can-ews-api-support-the-irm-email?forum=exchangesvrdevelopment . So as Long as you can create the IRM Attachment with something eg http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802693(v=office.14).aspx then you should be able to use EWS as a Transport API to send or read it.
For MAPI the Outlook OOM has some classes for IRM http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.outlook._mailitem.permission.asp
But you would be better to ask in the Outlook forum about their use http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=outlookdev
