One variation of the original proposal would be to only allow egress to addresses known to lay in a jurisdiction different from the one in which the remailer resides. I know, the problem is nontrivial with all the dotcom addresses and such around. Does doing a DNS lookup and working on IP addresses help?
That's not something the remailer should be doing - that's something that the user sending the message should be doing
The thread originated from a concern of someone planning to put up a remailer over legal responsibility and related costs. If in fact reducing this cost is a prerequisite to a growing infrastructure of remailers, I would say the remailers should definitely be doing just that. It's not so very different from running a middleman. Sampo Syreeni <decoy@iki.fi>, aka decoy, student/math/Helsinki university
