No, the TCP session will be established between your mail server and the sender's. And since the other party's mail server often happens to belong to Google, Yahoo or <insert big mail provider>, this doesn't increase security at all. (As long as you don't use end-to-end encryption but even then they still see your social network.)

- codethief 10y agoI totally agree. That's why I'm running my own mail server, as well. That doesn't change the fact, though, that email is fundamentally broken these days.
