Re: [Trisquel-users] Looking for a hosting provider

You will never know whether this provider is really running the software he  
claims to run.
Even if he did, maybe he makes a copy of your mailbox every now and then?
That's perfectly possible because he has physical access to the server.
Once you send data to a server, you're giving away control over it. Free  
software can't help in this case anymore, that's why there exists the issue  
of "Service as a Software Substitute", SaaSS. See:
