Because of the message size limitations there are some advantages to sending the mixmaster chain through some type 1 remailers first, rather than sending a type 1 message in a Mixmaster packet.
Are there any gateways that will take a (pgp-encrypted) type 1 message, with presumably some kind of headers giving onward routing information and put it into the type 2 network?
Should there be such a service? I think this was discussed earlier, but Lance's statement above seems to reopen the discussion.
It is very difficult to know what fraction of the traffic I see is cover. I generate some cover traffic my self, and I know some others do as well. Right now a reordering pool of 5 messages results in a latency of about 30 min. Mixmaster is no longer a small fraction of the remailer market. A majority of all public remailers support Mixmaster.
What is the total daily volume of mixmaster traffic for all the advertised mixmasters? Has anyone measure this statistic?

You don't need anything this fancy. Just have Mixmaster dump the message to a file rather than sending it (-o option). Then make that the message you send through the type 1 chain, and make the first Mixmaster remailer the final destination of the type 1 chain. -Lance ---------------------------------------------------------- Lance Cottrell loki@obscura.com PGP 2.6 key available by finger or server.
