What technologies currently exist for receiving a/psuedononymous message? With Mixmaster, sending mail, posting news, and even blog posting are possible, However, receiving replies securely or, better, holding a private conversation is difficult or impossible. Best bet seems is to encrypt and spam somewhere very public? Ugly, ugly. No technological method, just a few "trust me" remailers. Other options?
Mixminion offers a basic building block called SURBs, Single User Reply Blocks. http://mixminion.net/ http://mixminion.net/minion-spec.txt There is a draft spec. for a nymserver which uses this building block but I've seen no news of an ongoing implementation: http://mixminion.net/nym-spec.txt Mixminion installation still indicates that anonymity is still not available, due to traffic levels still being too low. The mailing list discussed current traffic levels recently: http://archives.seul.org/mixminion/dev/Apr-2004/msg00001.html
