:But how does one go about chaining through the remailers? I tried this :and the message got lost. If indeed you can, does it just involve using :more than one (anon-to) line in the header? Note-1: [R-R-T: stands for Request-Remailing-To: ] Note-2: [You is in this doc abraxas@cyberspace.org, substitute that adress for own if you want to receive the test message yourself] First you should test only one remailer: you > remailer 1 > RRT- you This is what you send: -- TO: remailer@jpunix.com :: Request-Remailing-To: abraxas@cyberspace.org Test of remailer at jpunix.com ------------------------------------------------ This is what you receive: -- You will receive this message from jpunix.com From: remailer@jpunix.com To: abraxas@cyberspace.org Test of remailer at jpunix.com -- If this is succesful you add another remailer: you > remailer 2 > RRT- rem 2 >> RRT you This is what you send: --- TO: remailer@jpunix.com :: Request-Remailing-To: nobody@kaiwan.com :: Request-Remailing-To: abraxas@cyberspace.org Test of remailer at jpunix.com and RRT kaiwan.com ----------------------------------------------------- Remailer nobody@kaiwan.com will receive this message from remailer@jpunix.com ------ From: remailer@jpunix.com To: nobody@kaiwan.com :: Request-Remailing-To: abraxas@cyberspace.org Test of remailer at jpunix.com and RRT kaiwan.com ------ Because the message has the header pasting tokens [::] the remailer at kaiwan.com knows where to send it to. You will receive this message from kaiwan.com From: nobody@kaiwan.com To: abraxas@cyberspace.org Test of remailer at jpunix.com and RRT kaiwan.com --------------------------------------------------------- You can keep adding remailer this way, everytime you receive a test message back you add another remailer: if you stop receiving test messages, the last remailer added is most likely "down". You can check that by using that remailer directly. --------------------------------------------------------- The above is simple unencrypted remailing.
