Blocking addresses by default
by Mark M. 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- With remailer abuse becoming more popular and remailers going down because of complaints, there seems to be some interest in remailer software that will block all email by default and will only pass along email that is explicitly unblocked. This way, someone won't receive harassing anonymous email unless they ask to receive anonymous email. This would also allow remailers to only pass along mail that is destined for another remailer. Looking at the source code for the various remailers, this doesn't seem to be too difficult. In the Freedom and Mixmaster remailer programs, there is a function which determines whether an address is in the block list or not. Both of these functions use strstr() to search for the address in each line of the block list. In both programs, the strstr() call is within an if statement, so changing the strstr() to !strstr() should invert the return value for the blocking function. I haven't tried this out yet, so there may be some problem I overlooked. The Ghio Type I program doesn't require any modification at all. If my understanding of the way the dest.block file is processed is correct, a file such as the following should do the trick: #dest.block file * !address1 !address2 ... All the addresses following the "!" are addresses that anonymous mail can be delivered to. Has anyone else managed to implement something similar to this?

There are two separate issues - PGP with a Windows GUI, and PGP that really runs as a Windows process, rather than needing to fire up a DOS window. There are a dozen or so Windows GUIs for PGP, many of which are on ftp.ox.ac.uk. I especially like Private Idaho; I think the path to it is www.eskimo.com/~joelm/ (also ftp.eskimo.com) Current version is about 2.8 ; I'm not running it because it dropped support for ViaCrypt (due to problems with ViaCrypt 4.0), and I like using ViaCrypt. I'm also having problems getting the older versions to work on Windows NT (sigh...) For a real Windows version, you can buy ViaCrypt (about $100-130?) At least inside the US, to use the interesting RSA methods except through the official external interfaces to RSAREF, you need permission from RSA. Basic PGP for DOS/Unix/Mac has this, but there isn't a blessed Windows version except ViaCrypt, a commercial product. For commercial applications, you probably also need ViaCrypt anyway. It was a nice product before they added Key Escrow support. Now that Phil has bought them, they'll presumably return to political correctness on that issue. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk
