Could you please explain a little on what this entails? I don’t like blank posts with just a link.
It means that there are no costs involved nor setting up a Domain or VPS, postfix and no POP3/IMAP third party servers are needed. You also don’t have to sign-up with third party privacy email providers.
Hmm… Still feels weird.. Not enough info..
I’ll stick with Disroot.
So, you have not read the tutorial? Disroot is centralized and does not give you the flexibility you have with Tor and native Tor applications, which you can run on your own with family and friends. Plus with Disroot you have to sign-up with a service which is largely unknown and the operators are not publicity known. It is always the best for Tor users to take privacy and anonymity in their own hands, instead of third parties.
No, I haven’t. As I said, I don’t like blank posts with a bare link. I didn’t click.
Whether or not it’s something others here are interested in, it’s for them to decide. Have a nice day.
here is my comment, I am always interested to be independent from clearnet (from data centers which are also corporations). I think your offer can be used only by programmer experts and not by ordinary people.
-
first problem, your tutorial is in windows and not in linux, exe files and similar.
can we use smtpdump and minimailer in linux debian for example? -
mini mailer config file is not problem, but template is complicated for ordinary people, I suppose admin must write template for family accounts and they should write only their username every time they send email message?
I visited mini mailer github but it is not clear to me if admin write template/config file one time, after that how end users - family accounts - use mini mailer? should they also install something on their laptop to send emails from my onion domain? do they get any graphical interface to send and receive email messages or it must be textual in terminal? -
can’t you add some PHP script for administering email accounts from GUI panel? it is not the end of the world to use php in debian in laptop. so, this system with mini mailer don’t keep messages, we can read it only one time while laptop is working or smtdump keep messages?
-
step 6 is problematic. as long as we don’t shut down computer/laptop.
- so, all accounts must have installed mini-mailer in laptop to get messages and they must keep open terminal or mini-mailer to get messages and they loose messages if they restart laptop?
- does mini mailer has some notification that new message arrived? it is easy to programm mini mailer to pop up message when new message arrive or to show some notification.
I use at command and kdialog --msgbox “In one hour is concert, prepare yourself”, if mini mailer trigger kdialog, message can be:
kdialog --msgbox “You got new email message, plese check mini mailer”
- you should explain to the people what is Nym, I thought it is Nym remailers, servers administrated by different people who forward messages anonymously, ordinary people don’t know anything about Nym network and anonymous remailer which i saw before many years but never used because forwarding messages through many servers means i must wait several days for delivery of message and I don’t have any proof that message arrived at recipient. I think most Nym remailers are dead project. nobody use it.
this Nym Mixnet you use is even not through servers of individuals than Nym is swiss based company and all legal registered companies must respect the law and collaborate with cops or secret service. this company has 77 servers in the USA which realize mass espionage (NSA), they also sell VPN for crazy 13 dollars per month.
I hope mini mailer is not using Nym servers to forward message through Tor.
- Raspberry Pi and Pluto can be used only by electronic and programmers experts, ordinary people can not use it. I never understood anything about raspberry pi and I think Pluto is too much complicated.
I can conclude it is easier to stick with traditional VPS and email server with squirrelmail hidden behind tor servers so called dark web email services which are not legal companies and they don’t need to collaborate with cops and spies. dark web emails gives are better privacy than Nym company. I don’t know so much about mini mailer to decide if it gives us better privacy than dark web email services.
Thank you for your constructive reply.
Mini Mailer is available for Linux as well.
Because Mini Mailer is an smtp client only and not a fully
fledged MUA it works with config files and templates.
The config files can be used for the Tor Network only or if you like with the Nym Mixnet, it is your choice.
Templates are used to not write the required email headers, every time you use Mini Mailer and in them you simply put the To: email address in it, from people you like to communicate with.
Mini Mailer does not need to stay online, it is only the receiving own server part program smtpdump. That’s why I suggested using a Raspberry Pi, because they are cheap and ideally suited for Tor Hidden Services, which run 24/7.
Due to the nature of this privacy set-up, not relying on third party servers, who stores your emails, it works that way. I do not know a better way for privacy/anonymity communications, without third parties involved, but I am all ears.
