remailers, the prime user of bandwidth in the US (well, not yet)
Could all remailer operators please mail me (hh@soda.berkeley.edu) the following information so that I can set up a remailer directory? There are so many remailers right now that this needs to be done: 1) address to mail to. for instance, hh@soda.berkeley.edu 2) how it works. what lines to put in the header, how to give it a pgp block, etc. 3) pgp key (if used) 4) how to contact the owner. this may be anonymous. you can easily set up your mail delivery file to have a Purpose: field and check it for "contact-owner" which would then forward the mail to the owner. 4) owner's name and email address (optional). I will compile all of this information and put it up for ftp on soda. e
People continue to post PGP keys that are not vouched for by anyone. E.g. none of the keys for remailers has any signatures. This makes it impossible to trust those remailers, since anyone could have generated such a key and sent it through a remailer saying it was from someone else. If you put up a remailer service, sign its key with your personal key, at least. Preferably get a few other people to sign it (by showing them that they key is really the one used in the remailer, in person). If you generate a key for yourself, don't just post it -- take it to a friend, and cross-sign each others' keys. If you do that a few times, then you can post it, and the receipients are likely to know one of those friends, possibly trusting them to certify your key. John
