Most of this is outside my expertise, but on this point I'll chime in. Gmail is mediocre, at best -- I'd give it a Gentleman's C, no better. The spam classification false-negative and false-positive rates are unacceptably high. It uses quarantines, a worst practice in mail system engineering. (Ask RSA how that's working out for them.) And given its prominence and size, it's a really tempting attack target from inside and out, via legal and illegal methods. I think you'd be much better off with a much smaller mail provider; find some small/local ISP in Duluth or Madrid or Perth, and use them. (But: pick one that uses secure mail submission and retrieval (e.g., IMAPS) in order buy yourself a modicum of privacy.) ---rsk -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
