Is there some reason why lots of 'punks _aren't_ running a simple script that will, say, fire a message to one's self through a chain of remailers every time you log on or at random intervals or something?
This approach hadn't occurred to me; I've been following the discussion on bogus remailer traffic from the perspective of 'How do we get the remailers to generate/manage their own 'noise' messages'. Give me some sort of script to run, and I'll run it on some oddball schedule if it will help. Things That Would Be Nice: 1) The script, incantation, or whatever should be easy for even Unix novices (*blush*) to implement without assistance. (Damned if I'm going to call System Administration and ask for help on something like this! :) ) 2) The script may need to incorporate some random element that changes the path through the remailers every now and then (If I *always* send a noise message from A to Q to X to Z, does this really help foil message analysis? Serious question- I have no idea.) 3) Some assurance that this will be a *quiet* process; that is, if one of the remailers barfs I don't care to have a bunch of wierd error messages routed to my postmaster. This may not be an issue; what I _don't_ know about e-mail would fill an encyclopedia. In short, if you can come up with a black box for me to run that helps your remailer traffic situation without (a) undue effort on my part and (b) undue risk to my account id, then I'll help you out. Strike a blow for blah, blah, and all that. - -- ........................................................................ Philippe D.
