List of reliable remailers

   I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed
information about remailer features and reliability.

   To use it, just finger [email protected]

   There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of
interesting links to remailer-related resources, at:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html

   This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP
encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see:
http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html

   For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger
[email protected]

This is the current info:

                                 REMAILER LIST

   This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first
   part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration
   options and special features for each of the remailers. The second
   part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each
   remailer. You can also get this list by fingering
   [email protected].

$remailer{"extropia"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk pgp special";
$remailer{"portal"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk pgp hash";
$remailer{"alumni"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk pgp hash";
$remailer{"c2"} = "<[email protected]> eric pgp hash reord";
$remailer{"penet"} = "<[email protected]> penet post";
$remailer{"flame"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk mix pgp. hash latent cut post reord";
$remailer{"mix"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek ksub reord ?";
$remailer{"replay"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut post ek";
$remailer{"ecafe"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk mix";
$remailer{"amnesia"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ksub";
$remailer{'alpha'} = '<[email protected]> alpha pgp';
$remailer{"lead"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek";
$remailer{"treehole"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek";
$remailer{"exon"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek";
$remailer{"vegas"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk pgp hash latent cut";
$remailer{"haystack"} = "<[email protected]> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek";
[email protected] is _not_ a remailer.
[email protected] is _not_ a remailer.
[email protected] is _not_ a remailer.

Groups of remailers sharing a machine or operator:
(c2 alpha)
(flame replay)
(alumni portal)

Use "premail -getkeys [email protected]" to get PGP keys
for the remailers. Fingering this address works too.

Note: The remailer list now includes information for the alpha
nymserver.

   cpunk
          A major class of remailers. Supports Request-Remailing-To:
          field.
          
   eric
          A variant of the cpunk style. Uses Anon-Send-To: instead.
          
   penet
          The third class of remailers (at least for right now). Uses
          X-Anon-To: in the header.
          
   pgp
          Remailer supports encryption with PGP. A period after the
          keyword means that the short name, rather than the full email
          address, should be used as the encryption key ID.
          
   hash
          Supports ## pasting, so anything can be put into the headers of
          outgoing messages.
          
   ksub
          Remailer always kills subject header, even in non-pgp mode.
          
   nsub
          Remailer always preserves subject header, even in pgp mode.
          
   latent
          Supports Matt Ghio's Latent-Time: option.
          
   cut
          Supports Matt Ghio's Cutmarks: option.
          
   post
          Post to Usenet using Post-To: or Anon-Post-To: header.
          
   ek
          Encrypt responses in reply blocks using Encrypt-Key: header.
          
   special
          Accepts only pgp encrypted messages.
          
   mix
          Can accept messages in Mixmaster format.
          
   reord
          Attempts to foil traffic analysis by reordering messages. Note:
          I'm relying on the word of the remailer operator here, and
          haven't verified the reord info myself.

   mon
          Remailer has been known to monitor contents of private email.
          
   filter
          Remailer has been known to filter messages based on content. If
          not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined
          for public forums are subject to filtering.
