I was thinking about this last night, hence my question about ! running mixmaster under Xenix (or minux for that matter). ! ! How about this as an idea: ! ! Get a few (3 to 5) accounts in a high density market (i.e. lots of ! ISP's locally) set up a unix machine on a cheap machine. Have the anon ! messages get sent to the pop accounts. Once an hour (or less depending on ! budget) have the unix box poll the different pop accounts mix the messages ! and resend them the next hour. YES YES YES!!!!!! SLIP/PPP/SHELL IT DOESN'T MATTER, DOWNLOAD MAIL, PROCESS, UPLOAD, MAIL, POST!!!!! LINUX MODEM/CUA1 OR SLIP/PPP!!!!!!!! PAID WITH *FAKE* NAME/ADDRESS WITH POSTAL MONEY ORDER!!!!!! I SUCK, I DON'T CODE!!!!!! IF THEY WONT GIVE YOU "FROM: " AND 50 POSTS/500 EMAILS A DAY GET ONE THAT WILL!!!!!! THIS IS A CYPHER EMERGENCY!!!!!!!! WE NEED 1,000 SERVERS F A S T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POSTAL COUPONS AND FOREIGN ACCOUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED SERVERS NOT CLIENTS!!!!!!! ! This could be further obfuscated by batching the messages up and ! posting a whole chunk of messages to a different similar remailer else ! where, or by just plopping an encrypted tar'd file on a ftp site where ! another remailer grabs them and splits and remails them. THE USER/CLIENT DOES THIS SORT OF STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!! WE DON'T NEED ANYTHING BUT 1,000 WORLD HACKTIC STYLE REMAILERS!!!!!!!!!!!
