Following up on myself... I was looking thru the text of an early markup of the bill today, and it includes information service providers. I'll go out to my car and get the page and cite.
I misread the wording of the bill. It carefully defines information service providers, and then many pages later says that they are not covered by the requirements of the bill. At least this is the text of the hardcopy that I have, and in the text files in the ftp.eff.org files. (The EFF files seem to be exactly what I have, except for formatting, etc.) Since it explicitly excludes information service firms, I expect that remailer operators are safe from this one. I appologise for any confusion I've caused. And I still think the bill is a crock. The bill has not been thru "markup" so the wordings, inclusions and exclusions may change. Some bills even go thru markup after they are voted on. This may be one of those, altho with the defeat of crime bill, the politicians are pretty busy today.
