I tried out a whole batch of cypherpunk remailers. I sent ping messages to: remailer@chaos.bsu.edu, nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu, hh@cicada.berkeley.edu, hh@pmantis.berkeley.edu, hh@soda.berkeley.edu, 00x@uclink.berkeley.edu, hal@alumni.cco.caltech.edu, cs60a-qu@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu, ebrandt@jarthur.claremont.edu, catalyst@netcom.com, remailer@rebma.mn.org, elee7h5@rosebud.ee.uh.edu, hfinney@shell.portal.com, sameer@soda.berkeley.edu, remail@tamsun.tamu.edu, remail@tamaix.tamu.edu, remailer@merde.dis.org, remailer@entropy.linet.org, elee9sf@menudo.uh.edu The ping messages were sent out at 20:27:44 EST. Here's the ones I got back, and the respective times: nobody@shell.portal.com 20:30:46 (+0:03:02) catalyst-remailer@netcom.com 20:30:55 (+0:03:11) nobody@rosebud.ee.uh.edu 20:31:05 (+0:03:21) nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu 20:31:16 (+0:03:32) remailer-admin@chaos.bsu.edu 20:31:27 (+0:03:43) nobody@cicada.berkeley.edu 20:31:50 (+0:04:06) nobody@shell.portal.com 20:32:33 (+0:04:49) nobody@soda.berkeley.edu 20:34:01 (+0:06:17) nobody@pmantis.berkeley.edu 20:34:14 (+0:06:30) nobody@eli-remailer 20:37:08 (+0:09:24) nobody@soda.berkeley.edu 20:37:26 (+0:09:42) remailer@dis.org 20:45:48 (+0:18:04) nobody@Menudo.UH.EDU 01:00:19 (+4:32:35) I got mail bounces ("Unknown User") from: remail@tamaix.tamu.edu cs60a-qu@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu After 24 hours, I have gotten no response from: 00x@uclink.berkeley.edu hal@alumni.cco.caltech.edu remailer@rebma.mn.org remail@tamaix.tamu.edu remailer@entropy.linet.org I think sameer@soda.berkeley.edu just forwards to hh@soda.berkeley.edu. I got two messages back from hh@soda.berkeley.edu. elee9sf@menudo.uh.edu batches out messages at midnight (which is 1:00 here). My apologies to the remail operators who received the corrupted messages from my failed first two attempts in their mailboxes.
