NOTICE: A new type of remailer has just gone into business! It's called a "hidden remailer-in-the-middle". The address is middle-man@alpha.c2.org. This new type of remailer uses a combination of Lance Cottrell's Mixmaster remailer and Raph Levien's premail program. Advantages: * The remailer is completely hidden. Attempting to discover the actual identity of the remailer site is virtually impossible. * The remailer uses both Type-I and Type-II remailer technology for handling remailer traffic. * Random remailer chains are selected separately for every outgoing message. * The remailer is designed to answer to a chained nym. * All Mixmaster administrative commands are also chained through multiple remailers. (i.e. remailer-help, remailer-key) How it works: The actual address of the remailer is hidden behind a chained nym. The plan is for the reply-block for middle-man to change approximately every 48-72 hours. This will be transparent to the net but will help to foil traffic analysis. The new remailer operates under a modified Mixmaster. The code has been modified so that outgoing messages are passed to premail to allow padding of extra remailer chains. Each outgoing message will have two type-I remailers randomly padded to the end of the chain based on the current status od Raph Levien's remailer reliability list.
