-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The risks of allowing pasted From: lines far outweigh the benefits. Pasting of From lines makes remailer operators much more vulnerable to charges of fostering forgery rather than simple anonymity. Spam baiting is another obvious risk. Forged postings with deplorable content will bring down retribution on the forgery victim. Forged From lines can also be used to subscribe victims to thousands of mailing lists. The uses of this "feature" can be duplicated with other mechanisms such as nym-servers, which provide persistent unique From lines without the possibility of forgery of arbitrary addresses. Users desiring greater security can simply point the reply capability of the nym server at the nearest /dev/null. -Lance - ---------------------------------------------------------- Lance Cottrell loki@infonex.com PGP 2.6 key available by finger or server. http://www.infonex.com/~loki/ "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra.
