Is the sendmail (I assume you are using sendmail for SMTP services) daemon
set up so that it *doesn't* log to /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog [or any other
syslog facility]? Otherwise, it may well be possible to track the usage
of the remailer through browsing the syslog logs.
This is one of the problems (it seems to me) with using a remailer and
*not* having root access. Unless you can convince your sysadmin to
remove the syslog mechanism that sendmail uses, you may be exposing your
users (presumably by accident).
