One thing is the dragnet mass surveillance that feeds into XKEYSCORE for free. Hosting your mail at riseup or gmail means the contents or the fact you've been using crypto with somebody will get indexed for later use anytime in your life. The other thing is targeted interception of GSM traffic near the chancellor's office from the top of the US embassy building. We know that the 5 eyes can probably work themselves into most of the e-mail systems on earth, but at least it is an active act of intrusion - not provided by free by a regional law. If two people have their accounts with a well chosen provider outside the US, there is a vague possibility they can exchange messages that do not end up in XKEYSCORE. Even if they end up in somebody else's dragnet, then at least they're distributed better. > It would be nice if you could recommend something. My general rule is we should all stop using SMTP, so I don't make recommendations on any specific offerings. I have my own server with my little collective, and that is a pain as well, because in this unfree Internet running your own server means getting bullied by the cloud servers for being a potential spammer or malware host. > Answering the topic, Riseup is a webmail provider that functions well > with Tor. I use Riseup but my personal favorite is Sigaint and > recommend that. A SMTorP node based in Italy? Yeah, that should work. Raiding a home to break a Tor server offering isn't something that happens easily in Italy. Does it gateway to regular SMTP? In any case, even if not perfect, it doesn't take much to be less at mercy of the 5 eyes minority interests than by having an account at riseup, hotmail or gmail. -- E-mail is public!
