You seem to be talking about a Julf-style anon system, where the system knows who you really are. If the system is corrupt, if Julf were an NSA agent, then the entire system is compromised and useless. I like the cypherpunks remailer concept better, where each link in the chain only knows the next link in the chain, and security is achieved by multiple links. If several of the links are actually NSA agents, your security
An alias-based anonymous server which does *not* have the insecurity of Julf's remailer is running on omega.c2.org. You can create an identity (terrorist@omega.c2.org for example) and mail to your identity will go through a remailernet path back to you. The server doesn't know who you are.
