Right now it's [the remailer network] sort of usable, but only for the dedicated, and there aren't many of us. I seem to be the only persistent authenticated nym who posts with any frequency. ... One problem with operating a nym is that people almost always respond to it with suspicion and hostility, even on this list. It would be nice to have an ordinary looking e-mail address that took in messages, encrypted them for your public key, and then sent them out to alt.anonymous.messages for pickup. Going the other way it would be nice if the account would accept signed messages and send them out as normal e-mail or news articles. This would allow nyms to participate in NetWorld like everyone else.
Your desired functionality seems to be describing the operation of a nym server, which you are not using. With a nym server, your email address would be something like cantsin@anon.efga.org, rather than anon@anon.efga.org. You do not get this capability when you use the Georgia Cracker remailer, you would have to use the Redneck Remailer instead. There are currently hundreds of ordinary looking email addresses on our nym server. While Monty Cantsin may be a pseudonym you post under, it is not a "nym" in remailer network terms. Once you get a nym you can also receive replies anonymously.
