Right, that's why you use Tor. PGP provides privacy and accountability. Tor provides anonymity.
Just remember you have to trust the security of the receiving party as well. Make sure not to reveal yourself with the contents of your emails since the other party might not be as disciplined with their tor and pgp use as you are.
- derrida 14y agoTor doesn't anonomise email :-/ If you want that, look for mixminion or mixmaster. Tor is a low latency mixnet for TCP streams (aka web browsing).
- dbrian 14y agoSMTP uses TCP and works over tor just fine. But you can always just use a free web mail account somewhere.
- derrida 14y agoYes, that's to fetch mail from a server. TorBirdy for instance is a plug in for Thunderbird. But! If you want to send a message alice@domain.com to bob@otherdomain.com that is not anonymous, unless you take other measures.
