I know what you're saying. My ISP is the telephone
company, so it's not exactly random
well, and the telephone company has more or less (most times less)
maintained mailservers - if it's for free or nearly free it will be less
frankly telephone companies are regulry too stupid for anything, be it
DNS where the put after every domain change a unwanted backup-MX
automatically, don't change modems with well known security bugs like
DOS over port 53 and silently close port 53 on the device itself keep it
vulnerable
in other words: the telephone company / ISP for my internet line is the
last one where i outsource any relevant service
but I know what
you mein. I wish encrypted mail were the standard,
but, even if I tried to instigate it, it would only be
more secure if both ends were encrypting (there's is
also electronic communication within the office, which
might not be encrypted, etc). Could electronic mail
ever be completely secure, so that one could _know_
that no quotes or portions could ever be shared
without one's consent?
you can't control what somebody quotes and forwards unencrypted later
but with GPG the sender encrypts the message with the *public key* of
the RCPT and it can only be decrypted with the RCPT's *private key*
