Support SMTP via Tor out of the box? #3

Closed petterreinholdtsen closed 4 years ago

petterreinholdtsen commented 4 years ago

What about supporting email sending and receiving over Tor, as described on http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_Debian_package_for_SMTP_via_Tor__aka_SMTorP__using_exim4.html ? It would make it possible to send and receive email using .onion addresses and send emails to and from the machines without leaking information about where the server is.

Well, the script is meant as a bare-bones setup of what's required to run an SMTP server (and have Gmail accept your emails). Any features beyond that are not part of the remit.

OK, no worries. It just occured to me that it could be a nice addition for reducing the information leak. :)
