Hi all,

This little tutorial explains you how to run your own email
infrastructure for family and friends, without paying a dime.

No email privacy provider accounts required.
No own Domain required.
No VPS required.
No postfix set-up required.
No pop3,IMAP required.

Requirements:

1. Tor Expert Bundle - https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/
2. OpenSSL - https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html>
3. Mini Mailer - https://github.com/Ch1ffr3punk/mmg
4. smtpdump - https://github.com/Ch1ffr3punk/smtpdump

Step 1. First we create a Tor Hidden Service. For that go in your
tor.exe folder and edit the torrc file and put two lines
in it:

HiddenServiceDir C:/Users/xxxxxx/Desktop/xxxxx/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 2525 127.0.0.1:2525

Restart tor.exe and you will find a hostname file with the
.onion URL in your hidden_service folder.

Step 2. Create TLS certificates for smtpdump:

openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

Step 3. Run smtpdump.exe with the following parameters:

C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop>smtpdump -debug -cert keys/cert.pem -key keys/key.pem -tls13 -output inbox

Where, in this case, the keys folder contains the certs and the
inbox folder is for incomming emails.

Step 4. Configure Mini Mailer.

For each family member or friend, co-worker etc. you have to create
a config file and a template.

A config file may look like this:

SMTP Host fswlpxkp6xdrwrcu3dmby4lwv4z22bep32s3f3ffrua3x4bmvdyhg2ad.onion
SMTP Port 2525
SOCKS5 Port 9050

A template may look like this:

From: pollux@fswlpxkp6xdrwrcu3dmby4lwv4z22bep32s3f3ffrua3x4bmvdyhg2ad.onion
To: castor@fswlpxkp6xdrwrcu3dmby4lwv4z22bep32s3f3ffrua3x4bmvdyhg2ad.onion
Subject: whatever

Your message goes here.

Step 5. Sample Session output from smtpdump:

C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop>smtpdump -debug -cert keys/cert.pem -key keys/key.pem -tls13 -output inbox
2025/05/18 21:29:26 Enabled TLS support

As you see, no MIME headers for international characters are needed.

Hello World! :-)Step 6. That's all. :-) You now have successfully set-up your own email
service, which is online as long as you do not power-off your PC.

This way you can be reached, once you come home from school/work.

If you have a spare Raspberry Pi you can run your own service
24/7 and ssh into the machine.

Hope you like this little tutorial and find it useful!

Best regards
Stefan

There are multi-byte character sets out there, you laughing stock.
And beyond that it's inherently foolish to rely on the recipient
using your default charset.

BTW, MID <20250414.023758.60358c31@msgid.frell.theremailer.net>
explains in a few steps how it's really done the easy way within a
few minutes and without depriving you of your favourite standard
SMTP/POP3 mail client capable of handling your region's character
set(s).

Or you set up a nym account with it, which means state-of-the-art
protection even against worst imaginable adversaries.

And Mini Mailer with smtpdump handles then all perfectly, dummy.

And beyond that it's inherently foolish to rely on the recipient
using your default charset.

See above and test it yourself.

Nobody needs third party servers any longer, to rely on.

Or you set up a nym account with it, which means state-of-the-art
protection even against worst imaginable adversaries.

Takes to long and is unpolite for rapid email discussions, because
people are tired in 2025 of long latency.

Have fun with your Omnimix rig and third-party servers involved.

There are no exteral mail servers involved, as the Omnimix package already includes a Hamster SMTP/POP3/NNTP server, primarily used to hold a local alt.anonymous.messages repository for nym reply extraction. It's an easy
task to activate that Hamster's mail servers from within the GUI and
connect its SMTP part with a hidden service of the also present Tor
subsystem.

You see, what you present here is old news for an Omnimix user.

What's your point? There isn't any network activity related to me
entering messages into my mail client. The transmission starts when I
click the Send button. Then the client uploads the message to OM and
holds the line until OM finishes its delivery to the recipient's Hamster
server through the Tor network.

Let me intervene here and explain this special "TorMail" case:

Mail client: Message creation
|
v Local SMTP port
OmniMix: Header filtering and sorting
|
v Local SOCKS port
Tor gateway
|
v Internet --------------------
Sender's Tor entry node
v
v Up to 8 further hops
v
Tor rendezvous point
v
v Up to 8 further hops
v
Recipient's Tor entry node
| Internet --------------------
v
Tor gateway's Hidden Service
|
v Local SMTP port
Hamster: Mail storage
^ Local POP3 port (asynchronous)
|
Mail client

A packet filter only allows the aforementioned local connections.
Except for both Tor instances all external connections are blocked.

No. As we're not only interested in your success, but even more in the

UTF-8 is the default for modern protocols (HTTP, JSON, etc.).
Go assumes UTF-8 unless told otherwise (e.g., []byte → string).

Big5 vs. UTF-8:

Big5 needs external context (e.g., "this is Big5") to avoid ambiguity
with ASCII.

UTF-8 embeds the context in the byte patterns.

Or does Class once again demonstrate his own incompetence in dealing
with MIME encoding by idealizing homebrew ASCII-only crippleware?

Do us all a favor and test it by yourself.

No. As we're not only interested in your success, but even more in the
reason why it works you'd better do us all a favour and explain how the
recipient of a two byte message knows that those aren't two ASCII
characters but instead it's one of the more that 13 thousand Chinese
characters from the 2-byte Big5 character table. Please enlighten us!

UTF-8 is the default for modern protocols (HTTP, JSON, etc.).
Go assumes UTF-8 unless told otherwise (e.g., []byte ? string).

Big5 vs. UTF-8:

Big5 needs external context (e.g., "this is Big5") to avoid ambiguity
with ASCII.

UTF-8 embeds the context in the byte patterns.

But to take UTF-8 encoding for granted is far from email standards. To
make it short you set up your own communication infrastructure following
your self-knitted rules, which is ok. But please don't call the result
*email* which it definitely isn't as it severely violates RFCs!

It uses the smtp protocol and RFCs can be replaced with newer onces.

So your message header contains a MIME-Version line
without any further MIME entries!? Very smart! LOL!

It's just extra lines. Who needs that?

This group more and more becomes a joke, a monkey house where standards
no longer play any role. We have to get rid of these stoned buffoons.

A monkey house, because of replies, such as yours.

Then do it. But as long as they are the official standard we have to
abide by them. Otherwise there'll be chaos, which means a breakdown. Or

Read about the difference between innovation and regression.

Anyone remembering the crippled nym systems, not so long ago announced
as great innovations, which actually were abysmal nonstarters?

Isn't it innoavtive to set-up an own free of charge email infrastruture, without relying on third-party servers? I strongly believe it is because
it frees us to be tied to monitorable third party servers, which even may charge you for using their services.

What do you mean by dysfunctional anonymizing systems? Tor is used by
Omnimix users, for example, to hide, because their remailers can't
protect them properly.

Stupido, OM uses Tor mainly to hide remailing activities of its users
from adversaries, whereas the remailer network contributes the most
reliable anonymization process we have. But it's not surprising that
you continue to spread fake news here. Who's paying you for this?


<https://danner-net.de/omom/tutortor.htm>

OmniMix • Tutorial • Tor

Tor is a real-time onion-routing system, which thereby allows anonymous Internet communication without any delay. That makes it useful to hide
your identity especially while surfing the web or using other services,
that aren't available by mail. But the lack of latency on the other hand substantially increases the chances for an adversary. So for anonymous
mailing setting up a free email account through Tor is only the second
best solution.

Nevertheless OmniMix enables you to benefit from Tor with various kinds
of communication, which require immediate response, e.g. the retrieval
of remailer statistics or a stealthy Mixmaster packet delivery to entry remailers. The program is preconfigured to run its own Tor instance and
use that for every Internet connection it establishes. You have to read
the 'Configuration' chapter only when problems arise or in case you're interested in what's going on 'under the hood'.

But there are further services provided by OmniMix based on Tor, which
you can read about in the 'TorPlus' chapter.

Hello World! :-)Step 6. That's all. :-) You now have successfully

set-up >your own email

service, which is online as long as you do not power-off your

PC.

This way you can be reached, once you come home from

school/work.

I'm retired. You left me out. The above should read:

"This way you can be reached, once you come home from

He he, ok. and sorry that I left you out.
