Hi all. I want to try to write a re-mailer that will run on my ISP's UNIX shell account. I am familiar with Windows socket programming (C/C++) but have never done anything in the UNIX environment.
One thing to note, UNIX privilages, you would want to run your remailer as a deamon, a constantly running program(similar to a DOS TSR or NT Service). I am not sure if your ISP gives you enough access to run deamons.
Good Luck Michael Peponis
I think you would also be able to use Procmail and Formail (two UNIX mail processing programs) to set up a quick and dirty remailer. Procmail could be set to look at the headers of a message for something like a header of "Remail-To:", or [REMAIL] in the Subject: header. If it finds this, it would use Formail to replace the headers with generic information, put the specified address into the To: field, and send the message on its way. I don't really know if you'd be able to set this up for chaining remailers or not though.

I have several useful FAQ's and documents available.
