-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Lucky me. I got my first complaint about my remailer today, as Eric Hollander told me I would eventually get. He says once a month Mr. Employee bashes Mr. Boss with his remailer 'cause Mr. Employee is too cheap for a stamp, and so he sends Mr. Employee a nasty warning from Mr. Remailer Operator. Me, no logs, yet, even assuming it wasn't just from another remailer. And the person didn't contact me, he contacted Netcom. Gee, maybe the guy made it up. No matter. It was an edu address, possibly a student. So now I get a terse, not too serious message from support@netcom.com mentioning "unsolicited mail" being against Netcom policy, so cut it out. I've blocked that outgoing address and sent the guy an explanation, and he hasn't responded to my asking what was up. I've added "Report Problems to qwerty@netcom.com." in my outgoing header too. But I have a question. I'm the quite type. I tend to ignore things like this, till say Netcom deletes my account, or at least demands an explanation. My question is, should this happen again, say tomorrow, should I tell support@netcom.com what's up? "I'm running an anonymous remailer, you know, like anon.penet.fi, the one that has 10,000 active users. Thus Netcom is now diverting CPU time to anyone who wants it." I wouldn't word it like THAT, but that's what they might truthfully assume. Sure would be nice if I could fully forge e-mail as coming from "nobody@nowhere.org". Alternatively I could just keep logs. Or I could just never log into qwerty again, and see how long it lasts ;-)! Hit and run remailer accounts. Centralized remailers on the internet. Bah!
