Sure... I'm just saying, anyone running traditional email services
with a .onion has a lot of thinking to do about security, legal
aspects, and the like.  :)

* The mail system will need to send/receive mail on clearnet.
  ("traditional email")

* The mail system will be used for many things, including some
  that are nefarious.

* The mail system will inevitably be a high-value target for
  law enforcement and criminals alike because of the above.

And,

* The mail system needs to be very reliable.

* The operators need to understand they will probably get a lot of
  abuse complaints.

* The operators will need to install or invent controls to limit or
  eliminate the ability to send spam through their system.

Best,
- -Gordon M.
