What are the major differences between the various Mixmaster remailer codes, especially in terms of the logistics of running a remailer? I'm particularly interested in aspects related to A. running one by someone not particularly familiar with UNIX (e.g., me) and B. a remailer accepting/sending mail only from/to a limited list of addresses (e.g., only other remailers). Thanks, -Allen P.S. I'm planning on starting up a remailer, probably on Lance's machine (to take advantage of his expertise) sometime this summer. I do want to get PGP for the VAX before then, and the MIT site doesn't appear to have this code.

SEM_tex
by jya＠pipeline.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

New Sci 25 May 1996: "Forensic lab awash with Semtex." Just 5 nanograms of RDX -- one of the ingredients in Semtex -- is enough to link a suspected terrorist to a bombing. Yet the DERA forensic laboratory that carries out tests in many high-profile terrorist cases frequently finds more than this on its floor. "It's horrifying," says an independent forensic scientist who specialises in explosives cases. "They seem to have been getting contamination all the time." In contrast, forensic experts frequently say that the Forensic Science Agency in Northern Ireland has the most thorough precautions against contamination. The agency moved to a new laboratory in 1992 after the IRA blew up its old one. SEM_tex

Sorry, I'm >not very familiar with UNIX, especially the pipe commands. A pipe takes the standard output of the program on the left-hand side and feeds it to the standard input of the program on the right. On Real Operating Systems, like Unix, both programs are running at once, so the pipe doesn't need to buffer very much information; MS-DOS fakes it out by running the first command while dumping its output in a temp file, then running the second command with its input from the temp file. A program named "popclient" is almost certainly designed for fetching mail from a Post Office Protocol server, which keeps a mailbox for you. I'm don't know what "formail" does, but it's presumably going to crunch your newly fetched mail through mixmaster to send it out. (A not unreasonable guess for what it does is to take a bunch of mail from standard input (e.g. the output of popclient) and crunch each mail message according to the options on the command line, for instance filing it, prettyprinting it, or whatever.) So this is a remailer. To just send mail, you'd use mixmaster. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com, +1-415-442-2215 # goodtimes signature virus innoculation
