More on remailers



I wrote an automated script to ping the following remailers:

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Results were a bit faster with the automated program than before:
Here they are:

Results seem to vary depending on current network load and other
factors, but some remailers do seem to be generally faster than others.

I didn't test [email protected] since it always batches its
messages and sends them out at midnite.  [email protected] only
accepts encrypted mail so I'll have to try that one seperately sometime.

Note: [email protected] forwards to [email protected]
Also, [email protected] forwards to [email protected]
This makes these addresses a little slower, but I guess it helps foil
traffic analysis a bit...

Are there only 12 cypherpunk remailers plus two forwarding addresses? 
There were over twenty at one time... Please let me know if I've missed
any.
