I remember seeing some scripts for creating multi-hop remailer chains. All that is needed is that these accept a standard format file listing remailers. This would be distributed by the designated remailer pingers at regular intervals, and could simply be dropped in the same directory with the script. This file could even contain the ID if the remailers key and what options is supports (since they are not yet standardized).
Chain is one such DOS program for chaining remailers [available on a c-punx site near you :-)]. It needs to be fed a file called chain.ini which is just a list of remailers with stars in front of the PGP-capable ones. I was grepping Matt Ghio's automagical remailer list and just editing it down to the list of remailers (and adding stars) after putting the public keys on my keychain. I very much appreciate the service he has been providing. Thanx Matt. C. J.
