Hi Worrier,

https://riseup.net/ certainly looks interesting.  Thanks very much for
the suggestion.  I will follow-up.

I  think  this  problem  is  actually  a  potentially  tough  problem.
Pointers to academic research would be great too.

I am  hoping the post  will generate some  more discussion.  I  am not
sure that encrypting disks and  an anonymous IP are enough.  Running a
private  mail server  in conjunction  with the  web server  helps, but
there should be a cookbook solution.   Or at least a discussion of the
challenges.

Really appreciate the feedback.

Engsafety.
