OnionMail.info is a project that create some open and anonymous mail servers on the Tor network to protect the privacy against intelligence agencies. OnionMail use filesystem cryptography and the keys are not on the server. All mailbox are encrypted via asymmetric RSA keys. The OnionMail's servers are into the Tor network, but allows you to use the email in the Tor network without losing the ability to communicate with the Internet. How it works Usually other mail systems all mail messages pass through different SMTP servers often the connection are not encrypted. On OnionMail session the connection is always encrypted and the server does not saving data to disk, only the recipient's server stores the messages in an encrypted way. In the event of theft, the system does not reveal any sensitive data. When a message is sent from the Internet it passes through the exit servers. These servers are the entry and exit nodes of Tor for email. The user can choose which node to use to communicate to the internet. Spam is short-lived because there are the custom blacklists. So each user can set their own spam filters. All servers are federated to create a check system for SSL server certificates.
