C'punks -- When I told a friend about the alt.drugs.pot cultivation newsgroup and suggested that he use an anonymous remailer to post to the group, he laughed and said, "Who do you suppose runs the remailers? ATF, FBI, DEA, that's who!" Gee, it makes sense to this paranoid. Does anyone know the answer? Specifically, how can we choose a trusted remailer?

The solution is not to choose a trusted remailer, but to choose a group of remailers and send your message through each one sequentially. If you use encryption, and any one of the remailers you send your message through is trustworthy, than it is difficult or impossible for someone to trace your message. Here are some places to go to find more info on remailers: http://WWW.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU/cypherpunks/remailer/ http://www.stack.nl/~galactus/remailers/index-anon.html http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html (Look at the bottom, there's everything you need to know there.) Please bear in mind that anon.penet.fi no longer exists, and that it wasn't all that secure when it did. Hope this helps, and happy growing :-) Jer "standing on top of the world/ never knew how you never could/ never knew why you never could live/ innocent life that everyone did" -Wormhole -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQB1AwUBMvpd9skz/YzIV3P5AQGIyAL/eFZ1sLcO0Gx/0BadHnhQVzJZowmJOcAq uChnzxSZmSQ8VRSHNjSh8H5i65jw1BIqWlsA8Oe7jnhRcPIqOcmNIdtTJwXP4qV7 HJO+uZwwKP7td5HPTzjD1f8iyO9VIRCj =p5V+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
