Why should
it not be as simple to set up an IETF standard email system for a
small organization as it was 10 years ago?
If you go back far enough, New York City was small and
friendly. Not much required to build a satisfactory home there.
Things have changed. No matter the size of the home, things
have changed.
Environmental pressures are ignored only at one's serious risk.
I agree with all of your points. But I also believe that it should
be possible to encapsulate the neccessary security features into
an Internet email architecture so that people can set up an email
server for a small organization in an afternoon, and it will pretty
much run on its own. The fact that the current Internet email
architecture
does not allow for this, and therefore disenfranchises small
organizations from running their own email services, does not
dissuade me from believing that we could fix the problem if we
put some effort into doing so.
