Just use gnupg and a mail client that supports it (Claws/Thunderbird), and exchange keys with friends and anyone who is likely to send you a mail with anything remotely personal....pretty much anything else I receive is newsletter based or from companies......and I really don't care if Google know that I buy my DVD's from Play.com and my books from Amazon if they crawl online receipts.... I used to host my own mail server - but I use that box for general experimentation and the downtime I created for myself was getting to be a pain, but if you have a static box it's not too painful to implement... either that or VPS's are pretty cheap nowadays and then you are in complete control.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksOoEAACgkQinmfyMJZ4lZWdQCeJqcYT0Uw8+EP4Bh7IGE4Z0Aw yUAAoMF7Xctl04g0nGAIVJA8cF2M40Rv =iaIU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
