&gt; You don&#x27;t trust your email provider?<p>It&#x27;s a luxury those days, with email providers snooping over messages to show your advertisements and all sort of TLAs snooping just because they feel so. There is some buzz about end-to-end encryption out there for a reason, and the reason is a lot of people <i>don&#x27;t</i> trust their email providers.<p>But I reasonably do. I&#x27;m hosting my email myself, on the hardware I own, located on my own premises. Although I may get hacked - one can&#x27;t be ever sure they won&#x27;t - most modern systems are too complex for any single human to grasp and sometimes bad things just happen.<p>But I don&#x27;t trust my domain registrar and the network. DNS may get poisoned&#x2F;spoofed, network may be tapped and traffic redirected, registry or nameservers may get hacked or subpoenae&#x27;d (ok, I&#x27;m not a criminal, but who has a protection from powerful authorities if they suddenly decide they want you?) and whatever else.
