Initial revision
1 rabbi 1 Thank you for contacting <%CA>. The administrator will
2     read your message and take appropriate action as soon as possible.
3    
4     This system is a remailer which automatically anonymizes and forwards
5     e-mail. As such it serves an important purpose for many of its users
6     who could not otherwise express themselves freely, or who need to
7     discuss sensitive personal topics.
8    
9     Of course, it is not intended to annoy or harass. In case you have
10     received an unwanted message, the remailer offers a method to prevent
11     this from happening again.
12    
13     To block the remailer from sending mail to your address, please send
14     a message containing the line
15    
16     DESTINATION-BLOCK
17    
18     to <%RMA>. You can simply hit `reply' and send back
19     this entire message.
20    
21    
22     Remailer Policy:
23     ================
24    
25     The remailer administrator will take steps to prevent use of the
26     remailer for any illegal purpose.
27    
28     The remailer is intended for communicating anonymously, not for
29     sending unsolicited commercial mail (UCE or spam). If you ever receive
30     UCE from the remailer, the remailer administrator would appreciate a
31     complete copy of the message in order to prevent it in the future. UCE
32     will typically contain a contact address or telephone number, which is
33     sufficient to identify the sender and -- where applicable -- take
34     legal action against the originator.
35    
36    
37     More information about blocking addresses:
38     ==========================================
39    
40     If you wish to block other addresses you can do so by including one
41     line of the type "destination-block user@domain" for each address.
42    
43     As a postmaster, you can block anonymous mail to your entire domain.
44     To do so, please use the line "destination-block @your-domain.com".
45    
46     If you do not want to read anonymous messages in mailing lists or
47     newsgroups, please consult the manual of your mail reading program.
48     The software will allow you to use `filters' or `kill files' to
49     avoid being bothered by messages you do not want to read.
50    
51    
52     Purpose of Anonymous Remailers:
53     ===============================
54    
55     It is easy to store electronic mail for a long time and to search huge
56     amounts of data for information about people when they do not expect
57     it. Thus, the information society may pose a hitherto unknown threat
58     to everybody's privacy. In totalitarian regimes sending critical
59     messages may even cause a threat to the senders' lives if their
60     identity ever becomes known.
61    
62     For that reason, anonymous remailers have been developed. Remailers
63     use cryptographic methods to conceal the origin of messages. Each
64     message is sent through a network of anonymizing servers so that not
65     even the remailer administrators have any information about the origin
66     of the message. It is impossible for us to determine the original
67     sender of any message. Please don't ask, because we don't know either.

79     Please do not hesitate to contact the remailer administrator again
80     whenever a problem occurs or you have any questions.
