Subject: Remailer FAQ. Info request!
Message-ID: <199402022153.NAA10067@mail.netcom.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain


I have only seen unsatisfying info on the remailers out there. If people
know the details up front, the Cypherpunk remailers will become more popular.
Different people have different needs for remailing as well.

Please help me out with this. I would appreciate info from operators as
well as users of remailers. If you do not want to disclose a specific
bit of info, I will enter it as "N/A". If I get no answer at all I will
leave it as "?". Send responses to qwerty@netcom.com. If you wish your
remailer be taken off the list I will comply.

++ <5 min
- ~10-30 min delay
-- pinging isn't practical due to long delays
+ ~10 min
+/- sometimes +, sometimes -
Normal internet mail delays are common, and are not equivalent in the two
directions between any two remailers. Mail still gets through.

Full: full copies of all mail is archived. My large volume mailing should
      help put a stop to this.
Stats: logs of when mail was remailed.
Stats+: logs of when and where mail was remailed.
None: operator keeps no logs.
Count: simple counter.
