Hello remailer users! I've solved the mail traffic problem with my provider and put the type-1 remailer at squirrel back up. But it will only remail PGP-encrypted messages to reduce the convenience to spammers. Accepting only encrypted mail should also enhance the security since it is harder for attackers to identify which encrypted incoming mail corresponds to which outgoing mail. Raph, please put the Squirrel remailer $remailer{"squirrel"} = "<mix@squirrel.owl.de> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek" on your list again and point out that it only accepts PGP messages. Thanks. If someone removed the PGP-key from their keyring, here is it again (you can find it on the key servers too): Type Bits/KeyID Date User ID pub 1024/0B11B275 1996/08/08 Squirrel Remailer <mix@squirrel.owl.de> -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.3ia mQCNAjIJ8IkAAAEEAJvmQTdUL2iLpKmZcnrtQuQWdw1zqt7oYVqkWeFa8J0qrunP smKvfTXmo52y2leLxbKZ6efADvrKq9ThXGF6qREVIdzTOnRYsVIwSSJjqBiDykAU cz8y/rEDes0oty4TRhysve976RwF3dLK7WU0RrDFj3VBLMhzyiQ+wVoLEbJ1AAUR tCdTcXVpcnJlbCBSZW1haWxlciA8bWl4QHNxdWlycmVsLm93bC5kZT6JARUCBRAy DQ4gvA9InihC/mkBAUlnCACgdpUBabYF9mQPaBC69YGxvcmoYQUxtqj7HlSpAAMr l0HlPNVUHuSqgo3Wo54uIHc4fFA2JYyxi/qETrQU5sHGOHq63H66uPylyzTLfE5v uIzbMuikNL2f9SIpdPamW2b+4Jep8UNlSGN0hKtbyedBDClJfPYbCXn9FKgwFcoo UyPTcfiAsV1f97cTGFM88thUVv6pAYNO4quangxnBEtdwY/mrr1xefw36TiC1yPo PNItxHEFRFxD2aEG5vA5hjRp/Sz5ZXZiY8K9X7hlt+n3MUXfKKz/OldWtF+Q9fOg a8Kmqj+duqlS2A4NbWp9emujOEzn2giI7+13B8MEyzVliQCVAgUQMgnwiSQ+wVoL EbJ1AQFKYwP/XqOGRvvjyd3anh42iAG0SASP9e/fIjD8bCymdEhJHdAsNy0H06ns oaLtH20tHN4BAgUo9i9H8h11+AygF4iJokGz1coP2BJI/O2o7YxR8SBWwk1SSrCb utbsi00uz/7QN1zb7Gn/sowUahhBsmhbJbkuur6EB5shBqyq0m/5jVE= =MqM9 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- I apologize for the lost mails during the shutdown.
