Doing my homework ..........from Rico

Reagan.com has been wobbly of late, refusing to deliver some e-mails, falsely identifying good e-mails and sending them unseen by me to spam. The 'sort' seems predicated by subj line content.

- Unacceptable for a fee-based private service. I don't care if they are now using a crappy algorithm, AI (which is dumb), have gone 'woke' like Disney, or are kompromat for other reasons.

= I will shortly be replacing them with a privacy-first secure e-mail.

 I'm looking at services with servers in places that have strict privacy laws [Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden], avoiding the servers in 5-eyes countries that collect and share intelligence data from e-mails [NZ, Australia, Canada, UK...and particularly the US which is now a lawless state, I'm concerned about the motives their .gov agencies].

 I think I've found one offshore that owns its servers, has no Google or MSFT taint, uses both symmetric and asymmetric keys for encryption end-to-end, strips the header metadata that identifies recipient and sender's computer, and unlike Proton encrypts subj lines AND the user's address book (I didn't know that about Proton so will not be using them again).

 I will keep the Reagan account 'active' for a while yet but consider it vulnerable and possibly compromised if not completely burned. 

- Their servers are US-based, and their beneficial owner is the slimy crapweasel Michael Reagan who is an embarassment to Ronaldus Maximus and all he stood for.
