Sorry, I believe you misunderstood the idea. You are not sending emails to eg., Gmail via Stenzor. You are sending email to _other_ people also using Stenzor.

Blockchain is a closed-loop system and there is no way to call to 3rd party services from inside

I am not sure what I misunderstood.

You are providing a system that allows sending emails, right? Hence the question how you would get past Google.

I assume "email" here is being used in a very limited sense of the delivered message. Not the protocol etc etc.

Maybe "message" would be better.

So another proprietary messaging service? :)

There is nothing that needs to "get past Google's filters" because the email never goes to Google - it is stored on-chain

Storing them in IPFS is not storing them on chain, you might actually lose data if the IPFS nodes don't pin in enough locations and the modes that fid leave the network

Then that's not an "email service".

Okay, you can call it a messaging service then. I don't think spending time on nomenclature is worthwhile; and "email service on the blockchain" would be clear enough for most :)

No, because people will expect to send emails to other people who do not use your system, and also get emails from them.

Email is already a protocol, you are creating a different system.
