I see about 200 messages a day through my remailer, sizes averaging a couple of K. I had the impression at one point that the VAST majority of this was "cover" traffic that someone is generating just to keep the network busy. I don't know if this is still the case. It might be possible to opt out of the cover traffic generator to reduce your load to a politically manageable level. Maybe people generating cover traffic could estimate how many messages they are generating.

I have a script generating covering traffic. It creates a message at random intervals between 1 and 20 min. The messages are encrypted, and padded with cutmarks for all remailers which support that. The messages are sent through six hops. The remailers are chosen from all reasonably reliable remailers on Raph Levine's list (except for those which have asked to be excluded). -------------------------------------------------- Lance Cottrell who does not speak for CASS/UCSD loki@nately.ucsd.edu PGP 2.6 key available by finger or server.
