I'm always surprised that this hasn't been happening; maybe it will when the new clients become available.
(Doesn't Sameer's system offer such accounts? Couldn't there be dozens of remailers based at c2.org? Of the 16 Type-1 remailers listed in one of Raph's recent reports, only 2 were at c2.org.)
I would be a little worried about many remailers being run at one site. If the ISP is ever shut down, then a lot of remailers will go down. This would be an ideal "choke point" for the feds.

Ideally, such remailers should require no involvement at all by the account holder. Just a "start" command, by the account holder. (Not the site administrator, as this could be construed as involvement by him.)
But an "instant remailer" (just add water) is needed. Recent questions here on the list about what it takes to run a remailer may mean some advice is needed.
Running a remailer function should never be thought of as being the same as running a site. Most of the existing remailers are certainly not being run on machines _owned_ by those running the remailers.
Such a program would certainly be feasible. I might try writing something like it. - -- Mark =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= markm@voicenet.com | finger -l for PGP key 0xe3bf2169 http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/ | d61734f2800486ae6f79bfeb70f95348 ((2b) || !(2b)) | Old key now used only for signatures "The concept of normalcy is just a conspiracy of the majority" -me -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMZ8x+rZc+sv5siulAQFNvwP/U6XRcE+/ad3CC3YSCigvwDIYlLjPyNsC e9TnKrc56Z1KidIyGmHFS4siyZIjdritA+sEqPOID1OT6b9sQx1YPmOeMeCaWAHE 5AtMrZ+zzpY8bdQh8Vwk8j2T5vKsza+tkuEP3AxnJzCrIPfIQjWRp/f5oz6WE0tj tXu2QPFEliE= =W2kT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
