"So meanwhile, are you giving root@netcom.com permission to try to identify the source of your mail and win the $20 for finding out whether you're really Xenon or you're really L.D.'s evil twin Skippy?" I have no answer to that. I don't know what "permission" means in this context. I never discluded Netcom employees though. I doubt they would wish to appear to have lax security by posting the answer though. Does L.D. have an evil twin? I hope he doesn't get a Unix account. Seriously, your comments were the first I've seen that really explain to me what sort of security problem a Netcom remailer faces. Now then, I ask you as well, might you fill in a few of the blanks in the remailer list I posted. I could send it to you if you missed it. What are the "serious" remailers, do they keep mail logs, and are they reliable? -Xenon
