-Currently, every AnoNet user who wants an email address on AnoNet has to
-set up his own mailserver.  AnoNet1 used to have a public email service so
-people could get email addresses without running their own mail servers,
-but it hasn't been online in nearly a year (although AnoNet1 continues to

+stage, too many is better than too few.
