Cypherpunks, For those of you who have not seen my public policy on the use of the catalyst remailer, this excerpt:
- 3 - I do not own the machine my remailer is running on. In fact it is a commercial system. Be nice. If they ask me to stop running my remailer on their system... I will. Additionally, you implicitly accept all the risks associated with trusting somebody elses machine.
After a rash of abuses, I received a polite notification from NETCOM that it is now their policy to prohibit the running of remailers out of user accounts, and a request to close down my remailer.
Therefore, you are hereby directed to disable your anonymous remailer immediately.
That particular sentence may sound harsh, but it was set in very civil message. I just think they wanted me to get the point. The catalyst remailer has been shut down. While NETCOMs policy prohibits remailers, it will not open again on NETCOM hardware.
