Summary: how to avoid questionable sites in paths

On the one hand, you can use the -d flag of Peter Honeyman's
pathalias(1) to declare as DEAD any site which you do not
want your mail to go thru.  That way that site will only be used
when it is the only available choice.

On the other hand, I doubt that such exclusions from the network
would improve the security or privacy of electronic mail.  I suspect
there are many many mail peekers out there that we will never know
about.
