I 'm way behind on my cypherpunks mail.. I just hope this hasn't been recently discussed... How about implimenting an anonymous remailer where the return address is some sort of hash to the original id... maybe based on time or count of messages from that id, or something... Thus, two messages sent from the same person would have "differnt" return addresses... and you would never really keep an anonymous id... it would be constantly changing... but you could always be reached, even at your "previous" addresses... This would beg for some sort of pseudonym option, in case you wanted a stream of your messages to appear to come from the same person (granted with diff addresses). This could even be taken one step further, to include a small portion of your original message in any replies... but thats probably bit too much... :-) crude example: From: <Pseudonym> anonabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789@remailer.anon Subject: An idea ^^^^ Some weird has to return address From: <Pseudonym> anonabcdefghijkl0123456789zyxwtsrqponm@remailer.anon Subject: A second idea ^^^^ A new hash for a new mail message Am I just blowing hot air... or is this a worthwhile idea? --- Nick MacDonald | NMD on IRC i6t4@jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca | PGP 2.1 Public key available via finger
