Greetings.
New remailer: qwerty@netcom.com.
No logs. Only a "counter" that works by appending the word "R" or "ER" to a text file so I can get an idea if anyone is using it. However, I'm sure the Netcom and other site's mail logs will be enough to track serious abusers of anonymity down, without my help. This remailer is dedicated to honest people who desire PRIVACY.
Is the sendmail (I assume you are using sendmail for SMTP services) daemon set up so that it *doesn't* log to /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog [or any other syslog facility]? Otherwise, it may well be possible to track the usage of the remailer through browsing the syslog logs. This is one of the problems (it seems to me) with using a remailer and *not* having root access. Unless you can convince your sysadmin to remove the syslog mechanism that sendmail uses, you may be exposing your users (presumably by accident).
