No Backups

Unless specifically requested and paid for, emails and self-destructing messages are not backed-up.  When you delete a message, you are deleting the one and only copy.

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Customers running IMAP or POP clients on their personal computers communicate with our email server over TLS encrypted links. TLS links prevent eavesdroppers from reading your messages while they are in transit between your computer and our server. Even encrypted messages sent over unencrypted links expose recipient address and other header information.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Those customers using our webmail interface enjoy SSL link encryption between our server and their web browser.  SSL is similar to TLS in preventing eavesdroppers from reading your messages in transit.

Perfect Forward Secrecy

We use Perfect Forward Secrecy protocols so if an SSL or TLS key is compromised for one message it will not allow decryption of other messages.

GPG Encryption for Webmail

Our open source webmail interface (roundcube) supports server side GPG message encryption.  While this is less secure than encrypting on your own computer, it may be your only option while traveling and using publicly available systems.

IP Address Hiding

Email messages by default include the IP address of the sending computer in their headers.  This can be used to determine the physical location of the sender. With Sub Rosa email, your IP address is stripped from the email header as your message passes through our server.

Security

Password Security

Unlike free email services, we don’t know your password so there is no way we can be fooled into revealing it to someone else.

Off-Shore Hosting

In these troubled times, an important threat to email security has become warrantless surveillance by the U.S. and various EU governments. The Sub Rosa server is located outside U.S. and EU jurisdiction in Switzerland, a country with strong privacy protection laws.

Self-Destructing Email

Sub Rosa’s self-destructing email feature allows you to communicate with non-subscribers without your message ever leaving the security of the novo-ordo server.

TOR

Sub Rosa services may be accessed through TOR for a extra level of security.

Antispam

Spamassassin

Sub Rosa currently uses Spamassassin to reduce spam. Additional filters are always being investigated.

Tarbaby

We also use and contribute to the Tarbaby project to reduce spam on the internet.
