That's not something the remailer should be doing - that's something that the user sending the message should be doing. If the remailer list shows what jurisdiction the remailer is in, that makes it easier for the user to determine, but it's the user's choice. Of course, if the remailer _always_ adds its own encrypt-and-mail hop, sending to another remailer in another jurisdiction, that's transparent to the user and a good thing (as long as it can avoid mail loops.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for setting up an anonymous remailer? I found a FAQ from a "Cypherpunks Home Page" mirror, but that's from _1993_! I assume there's more recent work out there somewhere, but I didn't see anything on Google or Packetstorm, nor mentioned in Phrack or some other zines. I'd like a HOWTO, suggesting software to use and how to set it up. I'm pretty clueless as to what would be needed, but I have a FreeBSD box and a DSL line with no usage restrictions. If need be I can set up another box, dedicated to this purpose. I should have the means once I get whapped with a cluestick. I'd also like discussions of real-world problems that people have found. What kind of things cause you to think about shutting down your remailer? Technical abuse, legal difficulties, or what?

will wonders never cease? wanna put an atm machine at an Anguillan hot-spot? really. why do you think they're registered in the BVI? Wireless ATM machines have been deployed by FirStar Bank (USBancorp now) in the midwest. makes a lot of sense, but I hope their encryption is really good. --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R.

CDR: Update: Zero-Knowledge Freedom for Mac

--- begin forwarded text User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022 Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2000 11:06:43 -0400 Subject: Update: Zero-Knowledge Freedom for Mac From: Mark Scott <mark(a)zeroknowledge.com> To: <mac-crypto(a)vmeng.com> Sender: <mac-crypto(a)vmeng.com> Hello mac-crypto list, The following is a message I sent to our Freedom beta and "notify of release" list. It provides updated information on the development of Freedom for the Mac. Thanks for your support. ---- First of all thank you for your patience. If you are following Internet privacy in the news you have probably been reading a lot about us lately. We have been getting five star reviews in the PC world/Mag publications, as well as rave reviews from main stream media, including the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, ABC News and many others. In the coming 5-10 days we will release our Freedom 2.0 beta for Windows 95/98/2000/ME and Linux. The reason that the Linux version of Freedom is available before the Mac version is because of the amount of common code between the two platforms. Regrettably this was not the case for the Mac version. This does not mean that we are in anyway less committed, it just means that the Mac version is a greater challenge to develop from the ground up. Having just completed meetings with our Mac development team I can tell you the following: We expect to have a Mac version of Freedom for MacWorld Expo January 2001. At this time we expect this version will support OS 8.6 - 9. We expect the OS X support to follow shortly after, at this point I can't define how quickly. Because of the inherent complexities of writing code for the first release of a product in a different platform, I cannot at this point say if this will be a technology demonstration, alpha, or beta. You may rest assured however, that we are putting all our efforts in developing the Mac version as quickly as we possibly can. I am planning at participating at Macworld in January, and I look forward to meeting any of you who wish to drop by and say hello, and of course see Freedom! I will keep you informed on details as we approach Macworld. I will continue to keep you up to date, and I appreciate all the feedback I have received from Mac users from around the world. We continue to collect beta tester names, and feel free to send this link to your friends and encourage them to sign up. http://www.freedom.net/download/mac.html#betatesters If any of you have further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

CDR: delete this judge
by anonymous＠openpgp.net 06 Oct '00

from /. "According to The New York Times (free registration required, for those who care about such things), a prominent judge recently wrote an article saying that the delete key should actually delete things, not just hide them away where lawyers and skilled computer geeks can get at them years later. Specifically, he proposes that a statute of limitations be imposed upon electronic messages--that, for example, an obnoxious email you send today could be held against you for six months and six months only." ... The judges original paper is http://www.greenbag.org/Rosenbaum/rosenbaum.pdf linked off of The Green Bag.
