I recently bought a copy of oracom's "Programing Perl" (which btw has a GREAT quickreference guide) and have been working on a remailer mod with little succsess. My thought goes like this: New remailer command... :: Induce-Delay: X Where X is any number between 0 and 9999, or the word 'Random'. This would delay the remailing of the message by X minutes through a simple perl sleep command. QUESTION: Would new mail be kept waiting by the old mail? Or would Unix spawn a new incarnation of the remailer process to take care of each subsequent message? :: Mail-At-Time: X Mail-On-Date: X Again both of these would use a sleep command to avoid the cron and at commands. :: Request-Encryption-To: X If user ID X is on the remailer's pubkey ring, the outgoing message is encrypted to X. This could be usefull for anonymous return-address blocks. I think these are all pretty good ideas, however I'm not very good at perl (in fact, at this point I suck) and things keep on bombing. Well, Happy Hunting to all, -Chris. Christian Douglas Odhner | "The NSA can have my secret key when they pry cdodhner@indirect.com | it from my cold, dead, hands...
