Here's another idea (don't laugh): to set up a system where mailing lists and newsgroups have public keys that you can encrypt directly to. Advantage for anonymous mail is that if a remailer is untrustowrthy, there's still some security in the final remailing of the document.
Furthermore, non-encrypted mail is less at risk of tampering. And some newsgroups or lists could requires a signed message from an approved key before posting.
there is no reason to laugh at this. there is already a mailing list where all traffic is encrypted using either the remailer's public key or the going the other way, the users public key. it's John Perry's cypher-list.
