Is the remailer "robo@c2.org" a PGP remailer? In the remailer-list, it is not listed as such and yet it has a public PGP key (dated 5/7/95)? Also, is it robo or ROBO, or doesn't the case matter?
From what I heard last week, the remailer operator's account at c2.org expired and was cancelled, thus the remailer is down. Previously, it had been a full-fledged cypherpunk-type remailer, with Type II (Mixmaster) capabilities, to boot.
Such are the uncertainties of using remailers. What would have been nice, of course, would have been for Sameer (sameer@c2.org), or whoever runs Community Conexxion, to post a bulletin here giving everyone a few days' notice before pulling the plug on this remailer. Undoubtedly, people are still chaining through it and wondering why their messages/posts are not showing up. NOTE: People with anon reply blocks from alpha.c2.org that chained through robo need to replace them, or risk lost messages!

Account cancellations are automated. The account holder is notified if pending deactivation 14, 7, and 3 days before the account is deactivated. It is the remailer-operator's responsibility to notify the world that the remailer will be going down. It is not my responsibility to keep track of which remailers are running on c2.org and which aren't. -- sameer Voice: 510-601-9777 Community ConneXion FAX: 510-601-9734 The Internet Privacy Provider Dialin: 510-658-6376 http://www.c2.org (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org
