Rock, you can check out mine:  http://secmailmzz5xe4do.onion

I haven't had time to add a CAPTCHA yet, because I'm more interested in
working on getting mail sent to non-onion sites to use the tor network
without leaking DNS and so on.  The registration script depends on how you
are storing your login information, and there are a lot of ways to do that.
 I'm using vpopmail, and I hacked vqregister, which is mentioned in the
squirrelmail plugins page.  Vqregister is truly horrible, and I had to hack
it pretty badly to get it to work.  If you want it, though, you can have
it.  But probably you're using something else (like postfix/postfixadmin),
and so the architecture won't work for you.

This hidden mail service will probably only be useful for mail to other
.onion sites, because most large e-mail providers block e-mail from tor
exit nodes, as I found out during testing.
