The Mixmaster anonymous remailer network offers stronger anonymity than
Tor for e-mail. They can also be combined. (Tor -> Mixmaster)

Outbound SpamAssassin, Hashcash?

I haven't tried it, but I believe OmniMix by Christian Danner can

If supported by the MTA, SSL can be used for private delivery. And then
there is PGP to make the message private from the mail server admin.
