I don't really see the use of this complicated scheme. The main problem seems to be that if M floods remailer R with messages to B, and A sends a message to C through R, then it will be clear to M that A's message was destined for C. Rather than divert messages, then, I propose that for each input message there is a 10% chance that a piece of cover traffic is generated. Thus, if M sends 50 messages through R and sees 6 outgoing messages going to remailers C, D, and D, he will now know which messages correspond to the message that A send through.
