I'm sure you do. I'd love to have email work flawlessly and securly with Tor, so opening ports 465 and 587 would be great (currently I do have problems since there's few exit nodes which do that). But as I understand it, email clients + Tor might be a very bad idea ATM. Email clients leak tons of information, the most critical I know of being your IP address and/or host in the EHLO/HELO in the beginning of the SMTP(S) transaction. Really, this isn't an argument countering your in any way, but rather a plea that the issues of using email clients with Tor are researched and resolved before that combination gets promoted (IMHO opening ports 465 and 587 is a step towards promoting it). It's very likely your average user will screw up given the current state of things. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkir/F8ACgkQp8EswdDmSVhXFACeOa208cVQzxS5uzWLyK4zOMTG JosAn1j8g02lmNX9EunThkG4yEzzmBCP =8ku6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
