-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- JPUNIX.COM (soon to be alias.net) offers a MX service for individuals that want to run an anonymous remailer but don't want the domain they are operating from to be immediately apparent. By making application to perry@jpunix.com, a remailer operator will be granted a DNS MX record pointing to the domain address of the requestor's choice and will appear to reside in the jpunix.com (alias.net) domain. Additional masking can be provided by having the MX record point to myriad.pc.cc.cmu.edu. What good does this do? I have an agreement with myriad.pc.cc.cmu.edu (Matt Ghio) where myriad will take the MX-pointed record and additionally alias it through the smail daemon on myriad. This function adds the unique benefit where determining the actual location of the remailer in question will be foiled when using nslookup. Since an additional alias is performed the result of an nslookup will always point to myriad. The actual location of the remailer remains hidden inside the alias on myriad. Lastly, Matt has the EXPN function of his sendmail daemon disabled so the identity of the remailer can't be determined by alias expansion. Future modifications to this scheme include adding an addition step whereby the MX-alias process will cause a version of Raph Levien's premail to post-process the message to add one or more random remailer paths the the overall path that the message travels. This step in still in the planning stages and has not been implemented yet. If you have and questions, or want to set up an MX record, send email to: perry@jpunix.com or ghio@myriad.pc.cc.cmu.edu John Perry < perry@jpunix.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLzFN6lOTpEThrthvAQHfAAQAkzoGHz7iaJKHMzB5GEQr8OvEwhDY0F9s lCZUJhTw3KV2hVWDoUtZNPwiSf4vcsDhGx0CDQrDUon2vXC0mOHj4zBbDhhuUD5l /NCPOmtWKFSnWiny2JbD0esNIuxIaWfa/tVTkDoDq/zPtsG0awmHTpGMSeIkkxvy II1mDwnZ9n0= =2jQD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
