Another problem with postage in Mixmaster: the minimum ecash payment is $0.01. Do we want to charge that much for email? Need we consider micropayments?
one cent could well be too low.
An interesting problem with anonymous postage is that it is likely to kill cover traffic generators. -Lance ---------------------------------------------------------- Lance Cottrell loki@obscura.com PGP 2.6 key available by finger or server.

That is the node that will be taking the heat/paying the lawyers. I'd operate a remailer if I was never the last node, becuase I don't have a site that can take the heat/seizure of machines for me. If we pay those final nodes to do more, than intermediate nodes can still carry cover traffic for free. Adam -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
