Well folks...
It happened again. Last night jpunix was used to post proprietary code to the net. I had to spend a couple of hours on the phone with the authors of the code, generating cancel messages, etc.. It seems that jpunix is a magnet for those that wish to abuse the remailers.
Since jpunix seems to attract problem users, I have installed some safeguards in the remailer that will hopefully add a level of difficulty to those that wish to abuse while remaining transparent to proper usage.
here are some other ideas to consider in addition to or instead of the 20k limit: * require encryption for incoming messages. * require that the sender, the receiver, or both be a known remailer address. at least one other remailer has to be involved. * impose a 20k limit on message unless they are received from a known remailer and sent to a known remailer. randy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBLstzsM1Uod4Abd1NAQGJUwQAnUB9CGdheNImzapwbtlfpWmnygrdpSva qioE5FM3U19knz+nwsEUYKE/xKAyC0G+jou0dmNy+W6NQ9QwCMslQ0YdR3hRxyMT DBiodSFu23H/6R+7PYUNscM9T2Lr/imkHLZZtxbcV7/IBzqlX9VdVFLd5/rWs4Fh Nk+BlhTwwjI= =srSt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
