The security of my private mailserver is nearly the same as the security of my laptop. For security reasons I don't use a VPS for email, but a small server that sits in my basement: There are some security measures that will lead to an automatic shutdown in case someone tries to physically access the server and the whole harddisk is encrypted. (Yes - you can call me paranoid.)

You go through a lot of trouble to try to secure an inherently insecure protocol (email). Or do you mainly use on-the-wire encrypted mail as well?

I don't care about things like (short-term) wiretapping. But I care about the fact that I have stored about 15 years of mail history.
