I would like to let everyone who hasn't already figured it out know that I did *not* originate the message that was posted to Cypherpunks through my account. I do not know where it came from, but it reached my account with the destination address of the cypherpunks list because the message that came back to me from the list said that "Anonymous <nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu>" originated the message. That indicates that it went through the remailer. If it were from me, it would say "Chael Hall <nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu>" as the return address. Another identifying characteristic is the "X-Remailed-By: Anonymous <nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu>" header line. Just remember, don't believe everything you read. Chael Hall -- Chael Hall nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu, 00CCHALL@BSUVC.BSU.EDU, CHALL@CLSV.Charon.BSU.Edu (317) 285-3648 after 5 pm EST
Re: not discriminating between remailer mail and user mail. The problem of persons uneducated in remailers not distinguishing between different kinds of mail is a problem that will scale badly. It looks like a problem that will have to be solved for any design which relies on user accounts for remailing. I have one suggestion, but I'd like to hear others. Suggestion--Put a big "Comment:" field in each remailed message which explains what is going on. Regular users will get tired of it, no doubt. Perhaps it could be called "X-Remailer-Education:" Eric
