Re: remailer delays
It's half done :-) ! Unfortunately the NSA run remailers haven't been
handing out info, but this should help people know which blanks are still
blanks ;-). God I hate these little sideways smileys!

Subj: Strips Subject header?
NL: Non-linear remailing? 123->231.
RD: Random delay added (max, in hours)?
Batch: Batched remailing? t2 means twice daily. n5 means after 5 messages.
CPU: Pr = private. PA = account on public access machine. Un = university.
Phys: Physical security of the CPU, especially at night. H/M/L.
BitB: BitBucket feature?
Fast?:
++ <5 min
+ 5-10 min.
- ~10-30 min delay
-- Pinging isn't practical due to long delays. Probably reliable though.
+/- Sometimes +, sometimes -.
Normal internet mail delays are common, and are not equivalent in the two
directions between any two remailers. Mail still gets through.
OpLog:
F: full copies of all mail is archived. My large volume mailing should
help put a stop to this.
St: Stats logs of when mail was remailed.
St+: Stats logs of when and where mail was remailed.
St-: simple counter.
N: operator keeps no logs.
C: Simple counter.
SysLog:
SM: sendmail logs of when and where mail was exchanged. Root access needed.
MQ: mailqueue accessible by anyone on the site. Could make logs.
I have chosen nicknames based on a string common to both the outgoing
address and to the address you see on an incoming message from the remailer.

why I have it forwarded and not just dropped.

penet.fi:
Run by Julf (Johan Helsingus).
Machine: ?? Operator owned.
Problems policy: Account revokation. Contact [email protected].
Software: custom.
Security:
Comments: By far the most popular remailer, dwarfing in a day what the
entire Cypherpunk remailers combined carry in a month. Supports
easy return addresses as well as non-anonymous mailing to
someone's anonymous address (na1234... instead of an1234...).
Your real address is kept on Julf's hard disk, but is fairly safe
there, especially if you do not abuse your anonymity to harass
someone. On a bad day your mail and especially Usenet posts may
be delayed up to a day. Very reliable though. Sends error
messages back to you for failed mail. Limited to 48K mail.
