A frequent source 'A' sending updated NSA-Affiliated IP resources to Cryptome's Web site has reported the following 
yesterday:

"Certain privacy/full session SSL email hosting services have been purchased/changed operational control by NSA and 
affiliates within the past few months, through private intermediary entities."

Reportedly the following services are controlled:

Hushmail / Canada:
http://www.hushmail.com/

Guardster / USA:
http://www.guardster.com/

and SAFe-mail.net
http://www.safe-mail.net/

from Israel.

Additionally,
'More info on industry Windows security software' has been released:

From the report:
"Zone Alarm, Symantec, MacAfee: All facilitate Microsoft's NSA-controlled remote admin access via IP/TCP ports 1024 through 
1030; ie will allow access without security flag. Unknown whether or not software port forward routing by these same programs will 
defeat NSA access."
