| Summary | 0005368: HOWTO: SMTP mail federation over GNUnet | ||||
| Description | In the discussion re 0004625 you suggested that the existing GNS functionality is enough to fully implement a store-and-forward mail system on SMTP basis. I think we should start sending and receiving email over gnunet and host secret mailing lists in it. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Please provide us with a demo script that would set up gnunet nodes in such a way that they can exchange mail with other nodes set up in the same way, just by addressing prof@grothoff.prof | ||||
| Tags | example, infrastructure, spam | ||||

Why would we want SMTP federation over GNUnet? SMTP is *not* the smartest way to do mail in the next generation internet: I would prefer secushare or pEp/gnunet if any of those were available. Until they are, smtp/gnunet is less bad: SMTP over GNUnet is more secure than SMTP+TLS, because X.509 is unreliable and MITM-prone. SMTP over Tor is a reasonable alter- native unless the Tor network is under attack. It is non-obvious which of the two networks, Tor or GNUnet, provides better metadata protection. Please read https://secushare.org/anonymity in that regard. Therefore SMTP over GNUnet is a welcome alternative to SMTorP. |
