No, but to shut them down you have to know where they are, and to make your intent known to operators of such. The remailers could reside in a state with a weak mutual enforcibility (Eastern Block successor states, Israel, developing countries). The remailers could be physically hidden in a large facility (of course, you could always whip up a firewall filter blocking them), or be connecting via 802.11b and successors. The remailers could be packaged as part of a well-behaved worm, thus overwhelming detection and enforcement capabilites.
