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.

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.

Yeah, I was thinking that the client could be an e-mail client, just like it's now an HTTP client. Or both.

And email is store-and-forward with (at least IMAP) a focus on longlasting archives where at least all metadata is plaintext in any case. 🙈
