Otherwise I'll have to have something grep for it so I can source-block the sender, and I don't really want to get into looking at incoming traffic.

Yeah, aside from the privacy problems here, there are other reasons for not looking at mail going through your remailer. I run a remailer, and one night a few weeks ago, we had a power failure here during the night, so the system got hosed. When I was setting it back up in the morning, I saw the incoming mail which hadn't gone into the filter. Well, there were some messages in there which ... well, let me just say that someone was using my remailer for a purpose which I would have rather not known about. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
