e-mail by its very design is not secure, SMTP creates "Man In The

DANE exists and mail servers like postfix support this. My logfiles

DANE just pins the certificate.


I'm not saying they shouldn't implement TLS on the list server, just
not sure what the privacy or security benefit really would be.

Encryption ensures that third parties simply cannot follow their "collect
all" strategy.

That's a fair point.
