The remailer accepts PGP-encrypted messages. You can get the public
|
| 2 |
PGP key by sending mail with Subject: remailer-key to
|
| 3 |
<%RMA>.
|

|

If you want to send an anonymous message, first create a file with two
|
| 6 |
colons in the first line of your message, and the line "Anon-To:
|
| 7 |
address" in the following line. Follow that with a blank line and
|
| 8 |
begin your message. For example:
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
==================================================================
|
| 11 |
::
|
| 12 |
Anon-To: beth@example.org
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This is some anonymous mail.
|
| 15 |
==================================================================
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Then, encrypt it with the PGP key of this remailer. Finally, send
|
| 18 |
<%RMA> a message that begins with two colons
|
| 19 |
and the line "Encrypted: PGP", followed by your encrypted message:

You will often want to include a Subject or other header lines in your
|
| 54 |
anonymous mail. You can insert header lines in the anonymous message
|
| 55 |
by preceding them with a "##" line in the unencrypted file:

Even though PGP encryption is very secure, this still leaves some
|
| 70 |
information open to attackers. For example, if someone gets an
|
| 71 |
anonymous message whenever you have sent an encrypted message to a
|
| 72 |
remailer, it is likely that you are the sender of those messages.
|
| 73 |
You can instruct the remailer to delay your messages for some time
|
| 74 |
or send it empty messages to make such analysis harder:
|
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
If you use the line "Null:" instead of "Anon-To:", the remailer will
|
| 77 |
discard your message. The "Latent-Time:" header causes the remailer
|
| 78 |
to keep your message for some time before forwarding it.
|
| 79 |
"Latent-Time: +2:00" would delay the message for two hours. You
|
| 80 |
can use a random delay by adding "r", for example
|
| 81 |
"Latent-Time: +5:00r" would delay the message for up to five hours.
|
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
You can, of course, use another remailer to send the message to
|
| 84 |
<%RMA> anonymously. For example, take the message
|
| 85 |
|

encrypt it with the PGP key of the Replay remailer and send the
|
| 104 |
double-encrypted message to <remailer@replay.com>.
|
| 105 |
|
| 106 |
If you send your messages through a chain of several independent
|
| 107 |
remailers, it will be hard to trace the anonymous message back to
|
| 108 |
you. A much more secure solution, however, is to use Mixmaster for
|
| 109 |
sending anonymous mail.
|
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
PGP encryption can also be used to receive mail at an anonymous
|
| 112 |
address. Please see <http://www.publius.net/n.a.n.html>, the home page
|
| 113 |
of the nym.alias.net pseudonym server, for more information.
