It is certainly better than anything we have now. One nice thing about
your idea is that it can be brought online in steps. It doesn't require
all remailers to suddenly switch over to using alt.anonremailer.net.

Any of the "ping" mechanisms you mentioned would work (some better than
others). There's no need to limit the "ping" to a single mechanism. The
"I am here" messages could have a field indicating the different "ping"
mechanisms the remailer supports. Again, this could start out to by a
NULL field, and could be added to incrementally, as remailers get more
sophisticated.
