I wrote a milter for sendmail/postfix to reject non-PGP mail that scans
the first lines of incoming mail: https://github.com/moba/pgpmilter
My idea of a mail provider: The MX records of domains contain a list of
different entities around the globe that accept incoming mails. The MX
servers rejects non-PGP mail (or, alternatively, encrypts mails towards
a user key for some addresses), and stores incoming mail in a
distributed file system again maintained by separate entities.
It becomes a bit hairy in the details, but can be done. How do we get
this funded? :-)
