I'm planning on starting up a remailer, probably on Lance's machine (to take advantage of his expertise) sometime this summer. I do want to get PGP for the VAX before then, and the MIT site doesn't appear to have this code.
Why would anyone set up a remailer at Lance's (or Sameer's) machine? They have remailers running already. If the thugs break root and obtain one remailer key from a machine, they probably get all the keys on that machine, compromising all the remailers in one single attack. Or am I missing something? Is there any benefit of multiple remailers on a machine where root is running his own remailer? Matts ps. The vax pgp is available at ftp://ftp.net-connect.net/pub/cypherpunks/pgp/vaxpgp262.tar.Z
