Please consider SCRYPTmail as an alternative to Lavaboom.
I'm awaiting a profile update from Edwin. FD: I addition to Email Questions I also represent SCRYPTmail. |

Although I could not fully explore the webpage because my browser gives "This Connection is Untrusted" (which means there's something wrong with how scryptmail has formed their SSL certs). Also, scryptmail blocks tor. An e-mail provider that blocks tor isn't really on the right side of privacy. |

Debian stable with the latest iceweasel for the distro. Simply clicking the "FaQ" link triggers the flaw.

But tor senders cannot have scryptmail recipients. A simple test is to run "torsocks telnet 30308973.in1.mandrillapp.com 25". It actually just connected for me, so it's apparently hit/miss. Maybe I used an exit node that blocked port 25 the frist time I tried. |

I see the blog site scores a B. I started bug tracking for it. We'll get it fixed.
