As to what is needed to generally improve the remailers, this has been discussed many times. Cf. my Cyphernomicon for some thoughts, c. 1994, which actually haven't changed much.
Generally, a bunch of things would be nice to have:
* throwaway accounts, and yet with some robustness or reputation capital backing them
We've kind of got throw away accounts recently, Ian Goldberg wrote a
perl script to open accounts and sendmail through a couple of the free
web based email services.
On the remailer operators list use of this script was discussed as an
alternative for remailer operators moving to `middleman' operation, or
closing down entirely in the face of threats.
There might even be a remailer or two using this ... perhaps some
remailer operators could fill us in.
