I see what's causing the double messages from Deadbeat. Penet puts an X-Anonymously-To: cypherpunks@toad.com into the header that it sends. (I'm not sure why it has to do this; isn't this redundant with the "To:" header?) The cypherpunks mailing list rebroadcaster keeps this header. The mailing list goes to Chael Hall's remailer. That remailer sees the X-Anonymously-To line in the header and thinks this message is a remailing request. (The other Cypherpunks remailers uses a different header line for their remailing requests.) That remailer then obediently sends the mail to Cypherpunks, and so we get two messages. Either Chael's remailer should not accept X-Anonymously-To as its remailing request, or Penet should not put X-Anonymously-To into the outgoing message headers. Perhaps this would be a good time to standardize the supported set of headers for remailing requests. Hal

No. The To: shows the real receiver, X-Anonymously-To: shows the address the message was originally sent to. Thus you know if the message was sent to your anonymous or real address.

Agree. Here is the anon.penet.fi set: X-Anon-To: - set by user, stripped by server X-Anon-Password: - set by user, stripped by server X-Anonymously-To: - set by server Julf
