True. I think it depends on what your intended purpose is for using a
remailer. If you just want to post an anonymous message, faster would
be better for sake of keeping with the conversation. If you really want
to communicate securely, you can use remailers such as
[email protected] which batches messages out at midnite and adds
random padding, or [email protected] which offers encryption
and adds a random delay.
