REMAIL: remailer tech

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Thanks for the note, L.Detweiler!

Let's see, I added a bunch of files to the gopher site, and I'll do
more maintenance next weekend.

I sent out remailing requests, and got responses from these remailers:

Remailed-By: Remailer <[email protected]>
X-Remailed-By: Anonymous <[email protected]>
X-Remailed-By: Anonymous <[email protected]>

The following errors were received:

"|/u50/sameer/.myfilt"  (unrecoverable error)
    (expanded from: <[email protected]>)

550 <[email protected]>... User unknown

So that's hearing from 18 out of 21, and maybe some more will drift in
shortly :-)  I'll test again in a while.

Yes, this is what the remailer at menudo does, all incoming mail is
just filed away, and then remailed at midnight.  I beleive I changed
the mailout script to pause for 5 or 10 seconds in between mailing.
Hopefully this will guard against massive onslaught attacks.
