Re: Nym Servers To: Cypherpunks
Igor and D.V. have been discussing the viability of cyberpromo as a host site for remailers; Igor points out that many recipients will auto-trash anything from there. On the other hand, it's a good entry point for a middleman remailer or a nym remailer, as long as you can trash anything from there without also trashing your remailer's mail :-)
Yes, a middleman remailer can be placed at cyberpromo, as long as other remailers accept cyberpromo email.
In particular, your remailer was going to remove direct references to cyberpromo anyway.
Well, if mail comes from (MAIL FROM: command of SMTP) one of the 300 Cyberpromo domains, it has _some_ chances of being trashed because of the local bans on these domains. My internet provider Galstar, for example, trashes all mail coming from Cyberpromo, savetrees and so on.
However, the prices have changed since I brought up the idea a month ago. At the time, they had auto-responders with POP mail - - - $50/2yrs POP+autoresponder, or $39 one-time for a mail forwarder. Now, however, they offer autoresponders for 3/$99 for three years, with no mention of POP mail or forwarding - I don't know if they've dropped the service (in favor of web hosting at $25/month), or if it's still there and just not advertised. (Of course, there's still the moral dilemma that even $99 is $99 in Spamford's pocket :-)
