Maybe I'm jumping in a bit late here, but maybe it would make more sense to have a logging alerts tab or something, and just make the email alerts say that there's a new log alert, with a URL to the webGUI of the pfsense box it came from? Then it's as secure as your webGUI, and avoids the mess of encrypting emails.
Nice idea, I might add that as well later .. Though my initial goal was it to have the actual logs on my mail account, so I hope you don't mind, if I go for that functionality first.
You're the one doing the work, do it however suits you. :)

If email encryption is the preferred way to go, personally I much prefer S/MIME. Have a field where I can put in my public key on pfsense, and then my MUA would automatically decrypt it since it has my private key.
Ok, that's another way to do it, though since pfSense has it's own private key for https, I guess I'll rather just use that, instead of adding another key, but I'm open to this as well if there are more people who would prefer this. Or then I might even implement both..
I think both would be the way to go (eventually). Not a lot of people use S/MIME, though I think a large number of the people who want this would configure it just for this purpose because it's so convenient. All the emails would show in your MUA as normal messages, but be secure in transit.
