Hi, Thank you for raising this topic once again. Toying with the idea of "better" email for quite some time, I think there's direct and practical things you can offer,

See https://github.com/moba/pgpmilter for a small prototype script that rejects non-PGP mail. Exim seems to have the configuration option for that somewhat built-in. I'd go further and forward mail from the mx to hidden services configurable by the user. > if inbox size is limited to a few mbs I'd maybe want to limit the amount of email a user can *send* in a given time span. > any cheap vps I would not want to use VPS for a service like this. > a trusted umbrella organization is needed Working on something like it. > is the tor project or torservers.net interested in running > such a service? Torservers.net is currently a project under a German non-profit. In Germany, ever email provider with more than 10k users has to provide lawful interception. See https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/EN/BNetzA/Areas/Telecommunications/TechTelecomsRegulation/TechImplementIntercepts/02EUenTRTKUEV62August2012pdf.pdf I'd like to see a full design for it first, and then the components, and the configuration for each component, so this is easy to set up and replicate by anyone. For example, how do I configure Postfix to relay certain incoming mail to a configured hidden service, how do I make it so it only rejects non-PGP mail for some accounts, etc. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
