Hmmm. Not as secure, but how about this... (a kind of script)
begin A
if active([email protected]) mail([email protected],B,C)
elseif active([email protected]) mail([email protected],B,C)
end
begin B
{ next block of scripts for chain... remailer would encrypt B and C
blocks for appropriate mailer }
end
begin C
{ this block would be cargo... could even contain multiple messages? }
end
That's a pseudoscript, but you get the idea... (no pun intended ;)
