Which remailers does it install?

Mixmaster, and it gives a choice of either installing the Freedom remailer or the remailer code written by Matt Ghio. It also has support for reorder scripts, but I haven't debugged that part yet.

What are the major differences between the various Mixmaster remailer codes, especially in terms of the logistics of running a remailer? I'm particularly interested in aspects related to A. running one by someone not particularly familiar with UNIX (e.g., me) and B. a remailer accepting/sending mail only from/to a limited list of addresses (e.g., only other remailers). Thanks, -Allen

P.S. I'm planning on starting up a remailer, probably on Lance's machine (to take advantage of his expertise) sometime this summer. I do want to get PGP for the VAX before then, and the MIT site doesn't appear to have this code.

I thing you misunderstood his answer, it installs Mixmaster and also installs either the Ghio or Freedom remailer. There are several flavors of remailer. The most common (but not most popular) are Cypherpunk and Mixmaster. At this time there is only one implementation of Mixmaster, mine. There are several version of the Cypherpunk remailer (A.K.A. Type 1) of which "Ghio" and "Freedom" are two. Mixmaster is known as a Type 2 remailer. Type 1 and type 2 are completely incompatible. -Lance ---------------------------------------------------------- Lance Cottrell loki@obscura.com PGP 2.6 key available by finger or server.
