I was thinking your Nostr client could strip out your IP from the email header and then you could send it to a mailserver-relay and they'd know it isn't spam because you signed it with your not-blacklisted key.
Or something.
Like, instead of masking/borrowing IP addresses, create a special Nostr communical path that you can use anonymously.
Was just thinking that we have this super-anon protocol running over IP addresses and it's like...
Why tho?
Emails are actually not that good at privacy, e.g., hiding IP address. Traditionally clients insert your prv IP address in the email header. Luckily email providers strip them down, mostly, but that depends on the email provider.
Can we have IP-address free Nostr protocol?
Then we wouldn't need to admonish people to use Tor or VPNs or whatever. It should be inherently anon, through the entire stack.
