My thought is to turn the block list concept on its head, and make it a "permit list". Simply, the remailer will only send mail to people who have voluntarily indicated their willingness to receive it.
On the whole, I like it. The problem comes when someone is trying communicate anonymously with some other person who doesn't have a clue about the whole thing. It would be neat to have soem way of generating a message to the effect "Someone is trying to communicate anonymously with you. [short explanation of good and bad uses of anonymity] If you would like to receive this message, [instructions about permitting]" Unfortunately, I don't know how one could separate those messages from all the rest of the traffic. -- Bruce Baugh bruce@aracnet.com http://www.aracnet.com/~bruce
