26 .SH DESCRIPTION
27 Mixmaster is an anonymous remailer. Remailers provide protection
28 against traffic analysis and allow sending mail anonymously or
29 pseudonymously.
30 .PP
31 In the non-interactive mode, Mixmaster reads a message from its
32 standard input or from a file. Destination address and input file can
33 be specified in the command line. If no address is given in the
34 command line, the input file is expected to contain a message complete
35 with mail headers. Messages to be send under a pseudonym must contain
36 a
37 .I Nym:
38 header rather than
39 .IR From: .
40 .SH OPTIONS

122 Generate a pseudonym.
123
124 For example, to set up a pseudonym with two mail reply blocks and nym
125 server acknowledgment for successfully remailed messages:
126 .PP
127 mix --nym-config=yournym@nym.alias.net opt=+acksend --to=user@domain
128 --reply-chain=privacy,hr13,hyper --to=user@domain
129 --reply-chain=replay,squirrel,mix
130
131 To use a message pool:
132 .PP
133 mix --nym-config=yournym@nym.alias.net
134 --post-to=alt.anonymous.messages
135 --subject="secret message" --reply-chain=base
136 .TP

138 Reply chain latency.
139 .TP
140 .B "\-\-reply\-chain=\fIrem1,rem2,..."
141 Reply chain for the pseudonym.

149 without decrypting it immediately. It will be processed the next time
150 Mixmaster processes the queue (called with \fP-M\fP or in daemon mode).
151 .TP

191 .PP
192 .I VARIABLE values
193 .PP
194 and of comments, which begin with a

197 useful to create a configuration file using the
198 .B Install
199 script when setting up a remailer.
200 .PP
201 All configuration variables can be overridden from the command line,
202 e.g.

355 .TP
356 .B MAILBOX
357 A generic mail folder for non-remailer messages that are not stored in
358 any of the following folders.
359 If
360 .B MAILBOX
361 begins with a
362 .BR | ,
363 it specifies the path to a program. If it contains an
364 .B @
365 sign, the message is forwarded to the given address (with an
366 .B X-Loop:
367 header to prevent mail loops). If it ends with a
368 .B /
369 it is threated as a Maildir, otherwise the message is appended
370 to the given file name or written to standard output if
371 .B MAILBOX
372 is
373 .BR stdout .
374 Default:
375 .BR mbox .
376 .TP
377 .B MAILIN
378 If defined an additional mail folder where Mixmaster should read messages from
379 when processing its pool. If it ends with a
380 .B /
381 it is threated as a Maildir, otherwise a standard mbox format file
382 is expected. All messages are removed from the folder after reading.
383 .B MAILIN

424 .B VERBOSE
425 is set to
426 .BR 0 ,
427 Mixmaster will log error
428 messages only. If it is set to
429 .BR 1 ,
430 error message and warnings are logged. If
431 .B VERBOSE
432 is set to
433 .BR 2 ,
434 successful operation is logged as well.
435 If set to

439 .BR 2 .
440 .TP
441 .B PASSPHRASE
442 A passphrase used to protect the remailer secret keys from
443 casual attackers. This setting overrides the compile-time
444 defined
445 .B COMPILEDPASS
446 which is now deprecated.
447 This should
448 .I not
449 be the same as the client passphrase.
450 .PP
451 The following variables can be set to
452 .B y
453 or
454 .BR n :
455 .TP
456 .B REMAIL

458 .BR y .
459 .TP
460 .B MIDDLEMAN
461 Act as an intermediate hop only, forward anonymized
462 messages to an other remailer. This mode can be used
463 where complaints about anonymous messages must be
464 avoided. (The variable
465 .B FORWARDTO
466 specifies the remailer
467 chain to be used; default:
468 .BR * .)
469 Default:
470 .BR n .
471 .TP
472 .B AUTOREPLY
473 Send help files in response to non-remailer messages. Explicit
474 .B remailer-help
475 requests are always served.

495 .RB ( x
496 = only when requested by user explicitly).
497 Default:
498 .BR y .
499 .TP
500 .B BINFILTER
501 Filter out binary attachments. Default:
502 .BR n .
503 .TP

505 List known remailers and their keys in remailer-conf reply. Default:
506 .BR y .
507 .TP
508 .B MID
509 Use a hash of the message body as Message-ID, to avoid
510 Usenet spam. Default:
511 .BR y .
512 If
513 .B MID
514 is set to a string
515 beginning with
516 .BR @ ,
517 that string is used as the domain part of the message ID.
518 .TP
519 .B AUTOBLOCK
520 Allow users to add their address to the
521 .B dest.blk
522 file by sending the remailer a message containing the line
523 .BR destination-block .
524 Default:
525 .BR y .
526 .PP
527 The following variables have numeric values:
528 .TP
529 .B POOLSIZE
530 The size of the Mixmaster reordering pool. Larger sizes
531 imply higher security and longer delays. Default:
532 .BR 0 .
533 .TP
534 .B RATE
535 Percentage of messages from the pool to be sent. Default:
536 .BR 100 .
537 Lower values cause the pool to increase in size when
538 many messages are recieved at a time, reducing the effect
539 of flooding attacks.
540 .TP
541 .B SIZELIMIT
542 Maximal size for anonymous messages in kB.

555 .B POP3DEL
556 is set to
557 .BR y ,
558 and left on the server otherwise.
559 .TP
560 .B INFLATEMAX
561 Maximal size for
562 .B Inflate:
563 padding in kB.

592 .TP
593 .B MAILINTIME
594 How often Mixmaster should read mail from
595 .BR MAILIN
596 and process mails fetched via POP3. Processing here means to
597 answer remailer-xxx requests and decrypt messages to the Mixmaster
598 and place them in the pool. No other processing of the pool is
599 done. This action is always performed sending out messages from the pool (at
600 .BR SENDPOOLTIME
601 intervals) or receiving mail via POP3 (at
602 .BR POP3TIME
603 invervals). Default:
604 .BR 5m .
605 .TP
606 .B PACKETEXP
607 How long to store parts of incomplete multipart messages and other
608 temporary pool files.
609 Default:

613 Mixmaster keeps a log of packet IDs to prevent replay
614 attacks.
615 .B IDEXP
616 specifies after which period of time old
617 IDs are expired. Default:
618 .BR 7d ,
619 minimum:
620 .BR 5d .
621 If set to
622 .BR 0 ,
623 no log is kept.
624 .PP
625 The following strings must be specified at compile-time in

627 Usually it is not necessary to modify any of these:
628 .TP
629 .B
630 DISCLAIMER
631 A default string to be inserted in the header of all anonymous
632 messages if no
633 .B disclaim.txt
634 file is available. If
635 .B DISCLAIMER

639 .I COMPLAINTS
640 address.
641 .TP
642 .B FROMDISCLAIMER
643 A default string to be inserted at the top of the message body
644 if an anonymous message contains a user-supplied

839 .PP
840 A destination address or header line is left out if it contains a
841 search string or matches a regular expression specified in the block
842 file. Lines in the block file that begin and end with a slash
843 .RB ( /\fIregexp\fB/ )
844 are interpreted as regular expressions. Lines without
845 slashes are used for case-independent substring search.
846
847 If a message contains a header line that matches a
848 .B /\fIregexp\fB/q
849 entry in
850 .BR header.blk ,
851 the entire message is deleted.
852
853 In addition, regular expressions can be substituted. Backreferences
854 are supported. For example
855
856 /^From: *([^@]*) <.*>/From: $1/
857 /^From:.* \\(([^@]*)\)/From: $1/
858 /^From: *([^@]*).*$/From: $1 <\fInobody@remailer.domain\fR>/
