An idea I just had was to make the X-Discard have a counter. If the number is greater than zero, decrement it and forward the message to another known remailer. If it is less than one or non-numeric, discard the message. Right now, it just discards whatever message has that header.
Seems like a very good idea, at least for the short term, to generate traffic. Just make sure that you do not accept a value for X-Discard that is too large, or else you'll find the same message floating around (Internet Worm sytle) when you *don't* need any extra traffic! If you wanted to really have fun, you could also add X-Discarded-By to keep a list of all sites the message has visitied, and make sure the same message doesn't cycle through the same site too many times. -- Nick MacDonald | NMD on IRC i6t4@jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca | PGP 2.1 Public key available via finger i6t4@unb.ca | (506) 457-1931 ^{1024/746EBB 1993/02/23}
