That remailer is used to paste : in the Subject: and Newsgroups: headers, then the encrypted : message is sent to the replay mail2news gateway to be posted in : alt.anonymous.messages.

Yes, the replay mail2news gateway is currently unavaliable for people using the c2.org remailer, this due to the ongoing forging of peoples 'from:' headers in sci.med, alt.smoking and the like.

When the mail2news software has been rewritten to be able to block on a per newsgroup basis I'll probably remove the block on c2.org.

If you need to post you can use the remailer@replay.com and give the 'Post-To: ' command, this will preserve the 'From: ' header if you want to post under an nym.

%$#&*!!! (Not directed at you, Alex!) It wasn't outgoing posts that I was worried about, so much as my replies that were being posted to alt.anonymous.messages via alpha.c2.org rather than being chained to me through e-mail. I wonder how much (if any) mail I may have lost. How long has this embargo been in effect? Is there any chance (pretty please) that the obviously non-forged mail from alpha.c2.org to alt.anonymous.messages, such as that with "nobody@c2.org" in the From: line, can be unblocked on a one-time basis, or have they already been consigned to the bit-bucket? Between this and the antics of the Co$, this has not been a pleasant weekend. All I gotta say is XENU XENU XENU!
