I'm glad you caught the problem. I'd hate to see what would have
happened if it had gone on for too long. :)
My remailer was off-line from midnite to about 18:00 hours (eastern
time) today. I took it off-line so I could handle the toad.com mail
bomb. I have restored the remailer and FAQ server to normal operation.
About 15 messages piled up in the queue during this time, and I sent
them out about an hour ago. Let me know if there were any problems.
Also, let me know your opinions on overall functionability of the
remailer, and any bugs/problems.
To everyone who requested the source code, sorry I haven't gotten to it
yet. I will...
P.S. The remailer info I maintain at [email protected] has
gotten quite popular. When I first set it up, I got at most 2-3
requests a day. The last couple of days I have been getting 10 to 15
remailer-info requests a day. I wonder where they're coming from...I
guess some non-cypherpunks groups have gotten on the anonymnity
bandwagon. Wow... there goes another one. (I have it display a message
on my screen whenever a request goes thru.)
