I've recently encountered a number of email problems (delayed delivery, lost mail, etc.) both from my pop accounts and Hush. I'm not trying to be paranoid but could these be caused by problems of TLA-installed transparent SMTP, POP, and HTTP proxies at ISP's in a man-in-the-middle mode, so that they'd be sure to see all traffic, because Carnivore's storage capacity is pretty limited?
Carnivore's storage capacity wouldn't be the issue. Rather, it's difficult to find a position on modern networks where large amounts of traffic can be monitored. Though, I cannot imagine that many ISPs would submit to such an order. Also, Hushmail has been very unreliable since its upgrade to "2.0". -MW-
