From hushmail's website:

What if Hush receives a court order to release the contents of my account?
Hush Communications maintains its servers in British Columbia, Canada. Hush Communications complies fully with valid court orders issued by the courts of British Columbia, Canada. In order to ensure consistent treatment of all users, Hush Communications does not accept court orders from other jurisdictions. However, law enforcement agencies from other jurisdictions may pursue action through international channels compliant with the laws of British Columbia and Canada, resulting in a court order being issued by a court of British Columbia.

That is interesting. The report i was referring to was a couple of years old so maybe the servers have been moved since that time but I know they mentioned them being in Ireland. Anyways this information is good to know.

Since Elite's mail is hush-based. Maybe they should look at secure-nym who has a stated mission not to give in to subpoenas...

Just to follow up this is on site also:

Does Hush/Cyber-Rights.Net have a "back door" that can be accessed by government agencies?

Email, which includes attachments, sent between Hush users is completely encrypted.

What if my message is subpoenaed?

Hush, like any company or individual, is legally bound to respond to court-issued subpoenas. However, because not even Hush can access the encryption keys of individual users, in the case of a subpoena Hush would only be able to provide the encrypted (coded) version of the transmitted email.

Agreed. The way I parse the company's information is that I :
A.) accept all of the concessions of the weakness of the service
B.) consider all security reassurances (back door) as spin and marketing propoganda

History has shown that to be on the money!
