minus-squarevalar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·18 days agoI prefer to use different email aliases for everything to mitigate that
minus-squareParagone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 days agofrom what i’ve read, ALL email ( possible 0.000something tolerance/error ) goes through google’s mail-transfer-agents. If they want a copy of every email that goes across the internet, they’ve got the saturation-of-core-servers to have that. There simply isn’t any way to bypass that. on an irrelated note, i wish public key encryption had been normalized, & worked right… ( Snowden got stung by a misconfiguration, 1 time, & if geeks get stung, then it isn’t ready for normals ) 🙏
