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 |
|
| 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.
|

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.

|
| 80 |
whenever a problem occurs or you have any questions.
