Re: Remailers: The Next Generation

While you guys are thinking about where to take this stuff at the application level, how about giving some thought to how you might do it at the IP level? Since IP is a much more fundamental Internet service than mail, any anonymity functions we might add to it could have much wider applicability. For example, consider anonymous FTP sites that a) insist on your IP address having an inverse DNS entry, whether it is under your control or not, b) insist on a user's name and c) log every file retrieval? An anonymous IP service could effectively put a stop to this practice. Phil
