Here's a suggestion for the remailer operators who log usage. When it comes time to create a dummy message for traffic spoofing, loop it N steps through the remailer web and have it end up at a randomly selected message sender's address. I suggest weighting the selection according to the number of messages the sender has sent. Since the dummy is encrypted anyway, this will also help the people using the remailers to spoof traffic analysis attempts as well. Combined with random delay, this should make life a little more hellish for anyone analyzing the traffic, as the dummies will no longer be distinguishable by being eventually swallowed by a remailer. The minor inconvenience of occasionally having an unwanted postage stamp clutter one's mailbox is just the price of doing business with the remailer. Hell, I'll even design a nice ascii postage stamp file for anyone who decides to implement this. jpb
