I am incline to think that as the traffic goes up the need to generate 'n' mails for each 'real' inbound/outbound goes down.
In effect as you get more popular your traffic becomes easier to track. I don't think I would use a remailer that advertised this 'feature'. Traffic analysis is something that is easily automated so the measure of success (to my mind anyway) is what sort of resources would a mallet need to get a solution versus the time frame that solution might we relevant. Admittedly this is a very sloppy area of remailers, I am not aware of any analysis with anon. remailers in mind. If anyone does know of a source please cough it up... ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
