I'm not familiar with anonymous remailer internals. Would it be cheap in terms of hack-time to add the capability for an anonymous remailer to maintain a list of addresses (or address regexp's) which do not wish to receive anonymous remailed messages? That way, if Detweiler is sending unwanted msgs to say, "chess-fans@foo.bar.com" via an anonymous remailer, and the readers of chess-fans complained to the (hopefully responsive) remailer operator, the remailer operator could add the "chess-fans" address to a "don't- remail-to-these-folks" list so that the nice readers of chess-fans can read mail in peace. However, if the "Don't-mail-to-these-folks" list gets too long, it would probably degrade remailer performance... sigh. (remailer authors: is this a correct assumption?) (Perhaps the "don't-mail" addresses could be tagged with amount of time somebody last attempted them; addresses that no one's attempted to hit in say, a year, could be expired.) -Anthony Garcia agarcia@sugar.neosoft.com NeoSoft is a commercial access provider, not my employer. (They didn't demand identity verification when I signed up, either. Yay, capitalism!) P.S. Larry: I didn't make the "tentacle" list in your SQUISH post? I feel slighted! Please correct in the next version.
