I don't understand the concept of secure email. If you want it secure, use PGP 🤷 Otherwise, it is insecure. If (which is a long stretch) a government wants to spy on you, they don't have to target your inbox. They target SMTP nodes, root routers or other infrastructure assets. It's more transparent, trivial and invisible. If I send an email without encryption, I send it with an assumption that anyone could read this. #email #infosec

    @jarkko@social.kernel.org isn't this what Fastmail says as well? They do encrypt emails at-rest, but if you want something truly secure they suggest Signal.
