I believe I have uncovered a serious bug in the Finnish anonymous remailer, one that allows me to piece together anonymous id's and actual email addresses.

I'm reluctant to publish the details here, but I'll explain how it works if you send me your email address.

Hmm. How about letting me know about it so that I have a chance to fix it?

I'm worried that the "serious bug" might be that the system won't prevent the gullible from mailing "deadbeat" their e-mail addresses through penet. Once they've done that, he can "piece together" their anonymous IDs and email addresses quite easily. I hope I'm wrong about this, though...
