And if you can reach the MTA, that means the email itself is unencrypted. So the MTA can monitor the email content.

- yegle 6y agoThis goes both ways. If I want to send an email to someone but their MTA doesn't do encryption, I might choose to encrypt the content of my email, but I have no way to hide my FROM. Blocking the MTA server is not unheard of.
- rsecora 6y agoRight, metadata is not encrypted for the MTA. That's the flaw in the email protocol for full anonymity, even using PGP.
