Ideally the final emanation point will be epherimal indeed. Perhaps only a few minutes or an hour or two.
I really like this idea. How about instead of a full-scale remailer being the final jump of the message, you have a _very_ simple remailer set up along the lines of anon.penet.fi. No encryption, just strip off the headers and send the message to its final destination. Sorry for being clueless in how this works(I'm learning as fast as I can), but wouldn't this kind of system be incredibly easy to start up and fold? You could have a host of such final emanation points winking in and out of existence while the actual encrypting remailers remain relatively safe.
