Note how, when everyone collects metadata, we have to move away from 
transport protocols that require client to give unnecessary metadata to 
servers.

SMTP protocol, like classically federated protocol, forces clients on 
both ends to give metadata. You cover your end, but other folks will 
open up your metadata.

The target is a replacement of SMTP with ASMail from 3NWeb protocols 
set. Nothing short of it, cause there is no choice: it is either 
web-style federated thing, or constant fires in social arena, because 
tech side is abusable. Today it is a social fight in Canada with these 
colours. A few months back there was something in Switzerland. Gotta 
switch to better tech.
