@evacide so the only real solution is to run your own mail server, because corporations will always do this if pressured?

@caitp I guess in theory you could find a service that will shut down before complying (ala 2013 Lavabit), but I can't imagine there are many of them at any given time because, well, they'll shut down (by design) on a frequent basis. Not sure if better or worse than the headache of running it yourself. @evacide
