 But IMO, something like the PGP remailers and/or hushmail are the key
 systems to support this form of free speech -- it should *not* be part of
 the core SMTP protocol.  Here's why:

      I disagree.  They are an important tool in the toolbox, but alone 
they are not sufficient to guarantee the security and privacy of that 
connection.  Until recently, penet.fi was believed to be a secure 
anonymous remailer -- until we found out that they'd been back-doored 
by the government.  Who knows how many other remailers have already 
been back-doored?

I don't think that was penet.fi.   I can't find the details of it
right now though...

But suffice to say, it did *not* sound like a secure anon remailer from
what I could tell.  Instead it sounded like a gimmicky e-commerce site
IMO.
