Drives are cheap. I just saw a 1.2 GB for $195 (internal, PC). I suspect that anyone sweating over having only a MB to spare shouldn't be running a remailer.

The trouble is, I can't just add a 1.2 GB disk to my ISP and use it, I have to pay monthly for more space. In addition, it would be time-limited to three months or so in any case, as I'm going to be travelling and wouldn't be able to support it.

(Not a slam against Mark, just a statement that there are certain minimal capabilities I'd expect to see, and not having free disk space is a serious problem.)

Yeah, I was mostly intending it to be a proof-of-concept, not really as an operational remailer at this point. If it was available as a patch for Mixmaster, say, then anyone who wanted to run such a remailer and had the disk space available, would be able to do so. BTW, how would the ECPA apply to, say, bouncing non-PGP messages ? From the sound if it, doing that would be worse from a legal standpoint than not doing it, as it would imply I was censoring the mailfeed in some fashion. Mark
