Ringel" <fredr@joshua.rivertown.net> Subject: Statement on nym.alias.net Hi all- An important message from the administrator of one of the best run remailers (IMHO), nym.alias.net, follows. This is especially important to those using nym.alias.net in their reply blocks or as their sole nym remailer.

Newsgroups: alt.privacy.anon-server The alias.net domain has been put "on hold" by the internic. The result of this, among other things, is that host nym.alias.net no longer exists. Since the alias.net domain itself it not administered by the same people as nym.alias.net, I don't yet know why this is. Given that today is exactly 3 months after the creation anniversary of alias.net, and the fact that the internic does an extremely poor job of billing people and processing their payments, I suspect this has resulted from some sort of billing confusion rather than any kind of anti-remailer activity. However, I've not heard back from the alias.net administrators yet, so don't know anything for sure. I just wanted to get the word out that we have no intention of shutting down nym.alias.net. The machine is still up and running, and will be useable as soon as domain name service is restored.
