Then design such a system. You did a few lines earlier: (Or if one is a remailer oneself.)
Or, simply have a remailer client that randomly generates dummy traffic, and be sure to chain through multiple remailers. You don't need to accept incoming remailer traffic from other live people -- this is sufficient to hide when, if ever, you are using the remailer network.
Yes, however my emphesis was on the *deployment* of the tools by "piggybacking" on other very-popular p2p-ish tools.
You still stick out as a remailer user, though.
Not if the next versions of IE or Windows or Morpheus contains remailer functionality enabled by default! That's the point. If every copy of Windows(Chinese) came with <dissident software package 1.0> then it would be hard to bust people for possession of the tools. If every copy of Windows(English) came with <remailer> enabled, it would be hard to bust people for running a remailer.
(A while ago, someone posted a physics question usnig a remailer, and Tim mused that they were probably a troll, since they were using a remailer to pose this question. I found that remark surprising, for precisely this reason. Everyone should use remailers from time to time to ask innocent questions, in case of being asked by The Authorities to provide an example of one's correspondence using such technology.)
