And "we" (whoever that is) need traffic, traffic, traffic. A good mixmaster net importantly includes lots of source address and exit addresses. Each of which plausibly is generating or consuming real content. The best chaff is somebody else's real email not some PRNG-driven bot output.
Sounds like a good reason to encrypt and distribute the list through the mixmaster network. I believe the first thing to do is figure out why remailers drop messages so frequently. (But, don't let me discourage you from generating traffic if that interests you. If you aren't doing so already, why not try a few anonymous posts? It's fun!)

hmmm. I would guess that if the list program prepended [cypherpunks] to every subject, then peoples could still filter and organize posts even though they arrived from random exit points. One listop could do this, and if it was too much of a pain people could resubscribe from a different CDR node. It might also provide interesting metrics for both goodguys and badguys (dropped messages, latency, etc. could all be measured against a subscription to a non-mixed CDR node. What are the traffic analysis implications?
