Why not mesh up Peernixens instead of joining Pubnixens?  Federating
with digital neighbours.  So most of your stuff would stay at home and
only what you want to publish appears somewhere else.  Maybe limit this
to SMTP and NNTP in the beginning and allow MIME posts in some
hierarchies.  A safe backbone[0] would take some stress from all the
other protocols, so none of them would need to have SSL/TLS baked in.
In such a context mail would be a lightweight service again.
