   Interesting.  So it was more of a liability thing.   
      
   I'm not sure about Europe, but the US has had a "Safe Harbour" law in place   
   for quite some time & thanks to the USMCA (the new "NAFTA") both Canada &   
   Mexico have those same protections (since July 2020).   
      
   Do we know of anyone still actively bouncing/droping encrypted netmail today?
