Any ideas on what can be done to extend the life of the remailer network?

1) Be sure that the final mailer is in a country different than the target address, a country that cannot be reached legally.

2) Randomly take over innocent machines (not part of the remailer network) for short periods of time to be the final mailer. The innocent will be able to honestly claim they were victimized as well.

Or steal a page from the spammers' books, and have the messages sent from throwaway accounts set up at various ISP's. -- Toto "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre" http://bureau42.base.org/public/xenix/xenbody.html
