The problem with email privacy: it's trivial to copy/forward email, but hard to ensure every endpoint is secure. Even if you are running your own MX in your basement, all of your email recipients use Gmail.


Your communication to users on the same server, however, is secure since it isn't actually email - it is just a local copy operation.
