Great idea! I used http://mailfish.de/ for this for years until they had to close (make sure everything is somehow covered from law perspective)

Uhm, what happened to mailfish? My minimal knowledge of the German language tells me that it wasn't something good...

Not sure if they ever did a more detailed statement than what is written on the page. But they say they had to shutdown because too many people were doing illegal things with their service, especially fraud is mentioned.

It is probably a non issue for you tho, i dont know if any other country would blame the provider for what the users do. Germany has rather random internet laws.

Too bad the Machne people use such a service for illegal transactions."

Oh god, the other way around usually works way better.

Thats about it, but here you go:

"Since we had multiple requests from police services, for fraud, we stop providing this service.

Too bad that some people use such a service for illegal transactions."
