Hm.
Seems someone sent a message to my frienly-mailer filter using penet remailer. So of course that person will get an anonymized reply, thus being able to know what my anon-id there is.
Fortunetly I don't use penet or rely on it for any form of security.
That's one situation where it would be nice to specify in a line somewhere *not* to anonymize mail sent through there (a command in header saying X-Do-Not-Anonymize maybe?)
Non-anonymous mail can already be sent through penet by sending the message to na[anon id] instead of an[anon id]. The problem you describe with your mail filter also exists for mailing lists and other instances where a person obliviously sends e-mail to an anonymous id. Unfortunately, other double-blind, pseudonymous remailers have the same problem. The only way to solve the problem is to not have remailers enable a double-blind by default (or conversely, have all mail programs rearrange the address so the reply is sent non-anonymously). - -- Mark =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= markm@voicenet.com | finger -l for PGP key 0xe3bf2169 http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/ | d61734f2800486ae6f79bfeb70f95348 "In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point." -- Friedrich Nietzsche -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMc3kJ7Zc+sv5siulAQHm+QP/XhK9YdV2uSbady21ekMe4j//YzDDR32w fvwwgZntjCQ7mP9thJzMxIziZ+RlA/DiXFf7A+eUieF+Tqbn4gyCh2/InQWrwssK l7Qh5ZC9OuSCJZnbwlCi+G/XfLAO+OdskoiTkW3YYlz2YO5KRAKhCBJwzIDPiWNh AIrN19vyI9k= =gyEu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
