Ain't that the truth. The difficulty is my correspondents. But it has to
be done, doesn't it. And there's no time like the present.
I guess a special gpg key-pair for each mail account, and a carefully
crafted email containing the relevant public key together with a
description of what to do with it, and how to reciprocate is the way to
go?
Do you have any experience to share in switching both yourself and your
correspondents to encrypted email?
Thanks for nudging me in the obvious direction.

Betreff: Re: [RCU] Point of information
I'll look into it. Although I have little to no money and no means of
paying for anything other than by international money order if I went
for this. I had a vps with ... what turned out to be viaverio, after
several rounds of merger ... for twenty years. But I never trusted
them
... once it occurred to me to consider whether I did or not. Then I
could no longer afford them, or pay them in any case, anyway.
Why should I trust FileMedia? If I could afford them. I'll try to look
them up.
What I have now is a shell account and limited webserver, and mail as
described, from this outfit, for a one-time fee of one dollar. I
bought
a buck and mailed it to him/them. I asked lots of questions, like are
you the NSA? Got zero answers. I have to assume it's an NSA honeypot.
But so may FileMedia be. Well not a honeypot, but a 'cooperative'
commercial provider as are Google and the rest. At least the NSA won't
bother to sell me out to the TNCs ... the sell-out traffic is all in
the
other direction.
Maybe there's a way to run mail over i2p myself. I had a mail account
there ... still based on trust ... but one day they just just me down.
No notice, no nothing. They're a pretty arbitrary bunch of geek
gatekeepers. And there's still the connection to the 'real' darpanet
to
negotiate.
Oh well, there is no such thing as privacy, certainly not security,
any
longer in this web worldwide. I might as well stick with what I have.
With those bastards from the NSA looking over my shoulder. collecting
everything I do on the web 'for future reference'. At least with the
NSA
I'm not commercially compromised. Not so with Google.

Then get that unmanaged VPS, you will control it, although since
it's
not located locally there still exists a small risk, I use FileMedia
for my personal offsite, reliable, and friendly service, you can
then
pop3 from it, keeping bulk of your mail local, and since you'd only
need it for light storage, you could get away with the smallest
plan,
you wont need bells and whistles.

Thanks for the advice. I tried to run my own mail server, tried
dynamic dns, but my ISP won't allow it, apparently. Couldn't make a
connection to an smtp port.
