I would like to announce the "secret-admirers" mail list. The "secret-admirers" list is intended to function in a manner similar to the well-known Usenet newsgroup "alt.anonymous.messages". This newsgroup serves as a dead drop for communications in which the recipient wishes to remain unknown. While access to a Usenet news server is unavailable in many environments, the ubiquity and flexibility of e-mail may be advantageous for the following reasons: - Penetration: More people having access to (pseudo|ano)nymizing tools is generally a good thing. - Pool Size: Higher utilization of the message pool may frustrate traffic analysis. The list may be gatewayed back into alt.anonymous.messages or vice versa. CDR-like nodes for redistribution may be established to reduce load on individual nodes. - Filtering: E-mail filtering tools are widely available, allowing recipients to draw only pertinent messages from the pool by filtering on tokens which have been negotiated out-of-band or by the public key to which a message has been encrypted. The mail list is unmoderated and accepts messages from any submitter. Submissions may be sent to "secret-admirers@minder.net" or "sa@minder.net". TO SUBSCRIBE to the list, send a message with "subscribe secret-admirers" in the body to majordomo@minder.net. The more subscribers, the better, even if procmail just sends it to /dev/null. TO UNSUBSCRIBE from the list, send a message with "unsubscribe secret-admirers" to majordomo@minder.net. A digest of this list is available. This list is not currently archived.
