Because an infiltrator usually targets new people who don't know enough about SS to shoo them off and tries to turn them away, and by the time the new person gets the infiltrator's DM the damage is done. Often these infiltrators impersonate members of the clergy or regular members, for example someone here tried to impersonate Aquarius by adding an underscore to his name, and someone can easily mistake that account for him.
I don't know if you have been in the JoS Yahoo groups before they were shut down, but it was an infiltrator's paradise: xians and anti-JoSers would occasionaly send private emails targeting new people (often impersonating HP Maxine or other HPs) and some of them got confused by all that stuff.
Thanks to the forums disabling private messages, this can't happen here.
The only way to avoid that is enable private messages for experience members only, but that's still unnecessary since many of them post their emails in the signatures and can be contacted there.
Is JoS' own e-mail server too much work to setup and maintain? Do you see it as a possibility in the future?Soaring Eagle 666 [JG said:" post_id=442252 time=1683930065 user_id=346]
For now, ProtonMail serves the purpose of private messages to clergy or JGs.

Good.Soaring Eagle 666 [JG said:" post_id=442344 time=1683994386 user_id=346]
That's on the to-do list.
But unless ProtonMail goes under, it is a low priority and will probably wait until next year.

Protonmail is great, but not too great. They have given information to authorities on demand.
Also, it seems that they are not going anywhere with the amount of work that is put into the services they provide.
