Quite right. There are free web mail servers all over the world, so
to be particularly secure the anonymous correspondent should look for
one in a country unlikely to cooperate with a fishing expedition from
the correspondent's government. Possibilities include:
asean-mail.com (Thailand)
eastmail.com (Japan, admins are so incompetent they probably couldn't
respond to a subpoena if they wanted to)
ekilat.com (Indonesia)
freemail.hu (Hungary)
gigileung.org (Hong Kong)
gmx.de (Germany)
mailbr.com.br (Brazil)
newmail.net (Israel)
polbox.com (Poland)
