Your email MTA, seems to be 198.144.203.251. I want to send you an IPsec
secured ping, where do I look for your key?
If email MTA supported STARTTLS, where would I look to get a copy of the
certificate, other than inside the protocol?
OpenPGP?

So I'm batting 0/3 for even knowing what these protocols are. Please
educate me.
