  And there are of course the Cypherpunk Remailers and the Mixmaster
  Remailers.  Anything else is a snare and a delusion with respect to
  privacy.

        jam

I was thinking more along the lines of the old anon.penet.fi service, which
was an extremely useful and trustworthy anonymous remailer and mail->NNTP
gateway. Julf Helsingius ran it, and was very good at cutting off accounts
that were verified as being abused, and at protecting his userbase. It was
only when Interpol showed up with a fraudulently obtained warrant from the
Scientologists that forced him to reveal one of his users that he, very
reasonably, threw in the towel and closed the service.

I miss Julf. He did good work.
