Once you know the address (node crypto key), you put it 'To: <key>', mua hands to spool, p2p daemon reads spool, looks up key in DHT and sends msg off across the transport to the far key (node) when it is reachable.

In these months there was a lot of talking about "metadata", which SMTP exposes regardless of encryption or authentication. In the design of this p2p system, should metadata's problem kept in consideration or not? IMHO exposing danimoth@cryptolab or my <key> it's the same, as there is a function between them. I2P and/or Tor adds complexity to avoid such mapping to any non-state-level adversary.
