End to end encryption is safe, mail server to mail server leaves your mail unencrypted on an unknown number of servers. If those are in the US or a similarly crazy country, they are just one letter away from being read.
- MichaelGG 12y agoNo, I'm suggesting that the tradeoffs if PGP are unacceptable for most users, and that using TLS between mail servers (even on private fiber) would be a good way to stop full on collection. The NSA story is a nice addition, but tales of the FBI carnivore system reading all email by connecting at big interexchanges is decades old, yet no one is taking even that part seriously.
