Remailers are proliferating! Several more will be coming on line soon! Two thoughts: Remailers should keep a directory of other remailers, along with their keys. They should, at random intervals, send messages to other remailers, selected at random. They should have a field like Purpose: traffic-analysis If a remailer on this "ring" sees this field, it will have, say, a 90% chance of remailing to another remailer in the ring, again, encrypted and with the traffic-analsysis field. This will cause a certain amount of random traffic between remailers. A traffic-analysis message could bounce around many times before finally ending up in the great /dev/null. We need two other things: overseas remailers (for those of us who live under US law). Domestic (US) remailers could have their archives searched with a searchwarant. However, if your mail has gone accross the oceans a few times, it would be pretty much impossible to get the neccessary warrants and cooperation in all the countries its been through. I'll set up a European remailer if someone else will. The other thing we need to do is make a list of remailers and their keys and put it up for ftp on soda.berkeley.edu in ~ftp/pub/cypherpunks. In fact, there could be an automatic service, whereby remailers automatically send mail to a remailer at soda, listed their keys and protocols, and the soda remailer automatically updates a remailer directory. e
