What about letting every remailer see the second to last system in the
remailing process, another remailer. Other remailers would route the
message around for a specified # of times +/- a small random # [users
choice with a max. limit set by remailers]. The second to last
remailer would recognize the last remailer from it's public key
encrypted message [::Request-Remailing-To: FinalDestination] and send
it on down to the last remailer which would decrypt the final remailing
block using it's secret key and send the intended message to it's final
destination. This would provide random remailing routes without
compromising the ending not originating location. The first remailer
wouldn't know if it had just received a message from a person, or another
remailer. TTFN!
