:Definition of SUFFERANCE REMAILER: A remailer that exists only so
:long as the U.S. Feds get around to outlawing it.; a sitting duck
:remailer. ; a remailer whose physical location may easily be found.;
:a remailer whose operator is vulnerable to the State's gun argument.;
:currently, the only kind of remailer there is.

:   Definition of FORTRESS REMAILER: A remailer whose physical location
:cannot be found. ; a remailer that does not require the consent of
:the State. ; a Freedom remailer.

How about locating it in a recalcitrant country e.g. North Korea, Libya,
Iraq, Iran.  During the Gulf war scuttlebutt has it that Iraq used encrypted
communications on the Internet to keep its C3 functions up. (Command,
Control, Communications) If they can't get at the remailer its pretty hard
to shut it down. Use satellite communications instead of copper and it would
be real hard to shut down.
