All sounds reasonble *except*... this is the internet, man! We can afford to do this once every 15 minutes, can't we? Unless the messages are given a delivery latency of <insert random time>, Traffic Analysis will allow for the tracking of messages. If, OTOH, messages _are_ given a latency, but are garaunteed to be out of the remailer in, say, 12 hours, it makes the task of tracking messages anywhere from one degree more difficult to exponentially more difficult, depending on how many messages flow in 12 hours. If you allow for dummy messages to pad traffic, TA could be avoided almost entirely except by the most anal of attackers.
