Thank you for contacting <%CA>. The administrator will |
| 2 |
|
|
read your message and take appropriate action as soon as possible. |

|
|
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. |

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 |
|
|
|

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. |

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. |
