What benefit does the anchoring give over just the signing part? Surely the signature is enough to prove that the email is from the expected sender? I feel like this is just an attempt to add Blockchain to an existing system for no benefit to the user.<p>EDIT: After looking around a bit more, the product appears to be your standard CRM tool (similar to Streak) but with &quot;Blockchain&quot; added to make it look different (but without adding any value).

Big red flag:<p>&gt; The hash of an email is computed using the SHA2-512 hashing algorithm and signed with our own 512-bit private RSA key.<p>Why even bother signing it if your key is that weak?<p>Furthermore, they sign every message individually with the same key. This does not make sense to me: why not just sign the root of the Merkle tree?<p>Other fun stuff:<p>- They both supply email tracking, and protect your privacy by blocking email tracking...<p>- It doesn&#x27;t prove that the email has been sent, it just proves that it has been submitted to Gmelius for signing.

Yes, because the killer feature missing from SPF + DKIM + DMARC is &quot;blockchain&quot;. &lt;rolls eyes&gt;<p>Every time I see some new &quot;&lt;reliable tech&gt;, now with Blockchain!&quot; announcement, it just convinces me a little bit more that &quot;blockchain&quot; is still a solution (that very few actually need) searching for a viable problem.
