.SH DESCRIPTION
Mixmaster is an anonymous remailer. Remailers provide protection
against traffic analysis and allow sending mail anonymously or
pseudonymously.
.PP
In the non-interactive mode, Mixmaster reads a message from its
standard input or from a file.  Destination address and input file can
be specified in the command line.  If no address is given in the
command line, the input file is expected to contain a message complete
with mail headers.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B "\-h, \-\-help"
Print a summary of command line options.
.TP
.B "\-\-config=\fIfilename"
Read configuration from an alternate file.
.TP
.B "\-t, \-\-to=\fIuser@host"
Add the destination address(es) to the message header. The input file
contains the message body without headers.
.TP
.B "\-g, \-\-post-to=\fInewsgroup"
Add the newsgroup(s) to the message header. The input file
contains the message body without headers.
.TP
.B
\-p, \-\-post
Post the message to Usenet.
.TP
.B

.B \-S, \-\-send
Send the message(s) from the pool.
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-verbose
Output informational messages.
.TP
.B "\-f\fR [\fIfile\fR]"
Read a mail folder or news article. This function requires ncurses support.
.TP
.B "\-fr\fR [\fIfile\fR]"

Mixmaster processes the queue (called with \fP-M\fP or in daemon mode).
.TP
.B \-P, \-\-pop-mail
Read mail from the POP3 servers listed in
.BR pop3.cfg .
.TP
.B \-M, \-\-remailer
Check if it is time to perform the regular remailer actions:
Send messages from the pool, get mail from POP3 servers and keep the
internal files up\-to\-date.
.TP
.B \-D, \-\-daemon
Detach from the console and process the pool, get mail and update the
internal files at regular intervals.
.TP

.TP
.B \-\-redirect
Read a Mixmaster packet from stdin and route it through a chain given with
\fB\-\-chain\fP.
Note that this may corrupt the packet if there is not enough space in the
headers (that is, if there are more than 20 hops total).  This function is
not normaly needed but may come in handy in certain cases.
.SH CONFIGURATION
Mixmaster reads its configuration from the file
.B mix.cfg
in its working directory.  The configuration file consists of lines of
the type
.PP
.I VARIABLE       values
.PP
and of comments, which begin with a
.B #
character.  The variables have reasonable default values, but it is
useful to create a configuration file using the
.B Install
script when setting up a remailer.
.PP
All configuration variables can be overridden from the command line,
e.g.
.B mixmaster -S --POOLSIZE=0 --RATE=100
will send all messages currently in the message pool.

.TP
.B MAILBOX
A generic mail folder for non-remailer messages that are not stored in
any of the following folders.
If
.B MAILBOX
begins with a
.BR | ,
it specifies the path to a program. If it contains an
.B @
sign, the message is forwarded to the given address (with an
.B X-Loop:
header to prevent mail loops). If it ends with a
.B /
it is treated as a Maildir, otherwise the message is appended
to the given file name or written to standard output if
.B MAILBOX
is
.BR stdout .
Default:
.BR mbox .
.TP
.B MAILABUSE
Mail folder for messages sent to the
.I COMPLAINTS
address.
Default:
.IR MAILBOX .
.TP
.B MAILBLOCK
Mail folder for messages sent to the remailer address with a

Mail folder for bounce messages. Default:
.IR MAILBOX .
.TP
.B MAILIN
If defined an additional mail folder where Mixmaster should read messages from
when processing its pool. If it ends with a
.B /
it is treated as a Maildir, otherwise a standard mbox format file
is expected. All messages are removed from the folder after reading.
.B MAILIN
is not set by default.
It is an incredibly bad idea to set this the same as \fBMAILBOX\fP.
.TP
.B VERBOSE
If
.B VERBOSE
is set to
.BR 0 ,
Mixmaster will log error
messages only. If it is set to
.BR 1 ,
error messages and warnings are logged. If
.B VERBOSE
is set to
.BR 2 ,
successful operation is logged as well.
If set to
.BR 3 ,
a log file entry is created whenever a message
enters or leaves the pool.  Default:
.BR 2 .
.TP
.B PASSPHRASE
A passphrase used to protect the remailer secret keys from
casual attackers. This setting overrides the compile-time
defined
.B COMPILEDPASS
which is now deprecated.
This should
.I not
be the same as the client passphrase.
.TP
.B EXTFLAGS
Additional flags you want to set in the remailer's capabilities string.
Defaults to the empty string, which means none.  Example:
.BR testing .
.TP
.B PRECEDENCE
Sets the header Precedence: to this value for all outgoing mail.
Defaults to the empty string, which means no such header is added.
Example: 
.BR anon .
If you use this you might want to block user supplied precedence
headers in your header block file.
.PP
The following variables can be set to
.B y
or
.BR n :
.TP
.B REMAIL
Enable remailer functionality. Default:
.BR n .
.TP
.B MIDDLEMAN
Act as an intermediate hop only, forward anonymized
messages to another remailer. This mode can be used
where complaints about anonymous messages must be
avoided. (The variable
.B FORWARDTO
specifies the remailer
chain to be used; default:
.BR * .)
Default:
.BR n .
.TP
.B AUTOREPLY
Send help files in response to non-remailer messages. Explicit
.B remailer-help
requests are always served.
Default:
.BR n .
.TP
.B MIX
Accept Mixmaster messages. Default:
.BR y .
.TP
.B PGP
Accept OpenPGP-encrypted Cypherpunk remailer messages.
Default:
.BR y .
.TP
.B UNENCRYPTED
Accept unencrypted Cypherpunk remailer messages.
Default:
.BR n .
.TP
.B REMIX
Re-encrypt Type I messages to other remailers in the Mixmaster format
.RB ( x
= only when requested by user explicitly).
Default:
.BR y .
.TP
.B BINFILTER
Filter out binary attachments. Default:
.BR n .
.TP
.B LISTSUPPORTED
List known remailers and their keys in remailer-conf reply. Default:
.BR y .
.TP
.B MID
Use a hash of the message body as Message-ID, to avoid
Usenet spam. Default:
.BR y .
If
.B MID
is set to a string
beginning with
.BR @ ,
that string is used as the domain part of the message ID.
.TP
.B AUTOBLOCK
Allow users to add their address to the
.B dest.blk
file by sending the remailer a message containing the line
.BR destination-block .
Default:
.BR y .
.TP
.B STATSDETAILS
List statistics on intermediate vs. final delivery in remailer-stats.
Default:
.BR y .
.PP
The following variables have numeric values:
.TP
.B POOLSIZE
The size of the Mixmaster reordering pool. Larger sizes
imply higher security and longer delays. Remailer default:
.BR 20 .
Client default:
.BR 0 .
.TP
.B RATE
Percentage of messages from the pool to be sent. Remailer default:
.BR 95 .
Client default:
.BR 100 .
Lower values cause the pool to increase in size when
many messages are received at a time, reducing the effect
of flooding attacks.
.TP
.B INDUMMYP
Probability that Mixmaster will generate dummy messages upon
receipt of incoming mail. Larger numbers mean more dummy
messages on average. For instance,
.B 10
means that on average one in nine incoming messages will trigger
a dummy generation, and
.B 20
means that one in four will.
.B 0
means no dummy messages. Remailer default:
.BR 20 .
Client default:
.BR 3 .
.TP
.B OUTDUMMYP
Probability that Mixmaster will generate dummy messages at
.B SENDPOOL
time. If the pool is processed frequently, this should be a lower value
than if there are long intervals between pool processing. Examples:
.B 50
means on average, one dummy message will be generated per pool
processing.
.B 80
means four will be generated.
.B 0
means no dummy messages. Remailer default:
.BR 67 .
Client default:
.BR 3 .
.TP
.B SIZELIMIT
Maximum size for anonymous messages in kB.
.B 0
means no limit.
Default:
.BR 0 .
.TP
.B POP3SIZELIMIT
Maximum size for incoming messages in kB when using POP3.
.B 0
means no limit.
Default:
.BR 0 .
Larger messages are deleted unread if
.B POP3DEL
is set to
.BR y ,
and left on the server otherwise.
.TP
.B INFLATEMAX
Maximum size for
.B Inflate:
padding in kB.
.B 0
means padding is not allowed.
Default:
.B 50
.BR kB .
.TP
.B MAXRANDHOPS
Maximum chain length for message forwarding requested by
.B Rand-Hop
directives.
Default:
.BR 4 .
.TP
.B MAXRECIPIENTS
limits the number of allowed recipients in outgoing mail.  Anything that exceeds this
number is dropped silently.  Default:
.BR 5 .
.TP
.B TEMP_FAIL
exit with this exit code when a timeskew problem is suspected.  Also see
.BR TIMESKEW_BACK
and
.BR TIMESKEW_FORWARD .
The default of
.B 75
should cause your MTA to requeue the message if you are running
mixmaster from a
.BR .forward
file.
.PP
The following are time variables. They can be given as years (
.BR y
), months (
.BR b
), days (
.BR d
), hours (
.BR h
), minutes (
.BR m
), or seconds (
.BR s
).
.TP
.B SENDPOOLTIME
How often Mixmaster should check the pool for messages
to be sent. Remailer default:
.BR 1h .
Client default:
.BR 0h .
.TP
.B POP3TIME
How often Mixmaster should check the POP3 accounts
listed in
.B pop3.cfg
for new mail.
Default:
.BR 1h .
.TP
.B MAILINTIME
How often Mixmaster should read mail from
.BR MAILIN
and process mails fetched via POP3. Processing here means to
answer remailer-xxx requests and decrypt messages to the Mixmaster
and place them in the pool. No other processing of the pool is
done. This action is always performed sending out messages from the pool (at
.BR SENDPOOLTIME
intervals) or receiving mail via POP3 (at
.BR POP3TIME
intervals). Default:
.BR 5m .
.TP
.B PACKETEXP
How long to store parts of incomplete multipart messages and other
temporary pool files.
Default:
.BR 7d .
.TP
.B IDEXP
Mixmaster keeps a log of packet IDs to prevent replay
attacks.
.B IDEXP
specifies after which period of time old
IDs are expired. Default:
.BR 7d ,
minimum:
.BR 5d .
If set to
.BR 0 ,
no log is kept.
.TP
.B KEYLIFETIME
Mixmaster sets an expiration date on its remailer keys 
.B KEYLIFETIME
after the key creation date. Default:
.BR 13b .
.TP
.B KEYGRACEPERIOD
Mixmaster will continue to decrypt messages encrypted to an expired key 
for
.B KEYGRACEPERIOD 
period of time after the expiration. This is done to ensure that messages
already injected into the network are allowed to exit. Do not change this
value unless you know what you are doing, or you will risk partitioning
attacks. Default:
.BR 7d . 
.TP
.B KEYOVERLAPPERIOD
Mixmaster will generate and advertise a new key 
.BR KEYOVERLAPPERIOD
period of time before the expiration of the key. Clients should always use 
the most recently created valid key. Clients that deviate from this 
recommended behavior risk partitioning attacks. Default:
.BR 7d .
.TP
.B TIMESKEW_BACK
Allow going back up to
.BR TIMESKEW_BACK
in time.  If the time moved further back mixmaster will assume
there is a problem with your clock and refuse to start as a remailer.
This is done by comparing the latest timestamp in 
.BR time.log
with the current timestamp.  If set to
.BR 0
then this test is skipped.  If the system time is indeed correct, simply
remove
.BR time.log .
Default: 
.BR 12h .
.TP
.B TIMESKEW_FORWARD
Similar to
.BR TIMESKEW_BACK
but allow jumping this far into the future.
Default: 
.BR 2w .
.PP
The following strings must be specified at compile-time in
.BR config.h .
It is not usually necessary to modify any of these:
.TP
.B
DISCLAIMER
A default string to be inserted in the header of all anonymous
messages if no

file is available. If
.B DISCLAIMER
contains the substring
.BR "%s" ,
it will be substituted with the
.I COMPLAINTS
address.
.TP

.PP
The following variables can be set in the
.B Makefile
or in
.BR config.h :
.TP
.B COMPILEDPASS
A passphrase used to protect the remailer secret keys from
casual attackers. You can use
.B `make PASS="\fIyour passphrase\fB"'
to set a passphrase. This should
.I not
be the same as the client passphrase. This option is now deprecated in
favor of the configuration file option
.BR PASSPHRASE .
.TP
.B SPOOL
Set
.B SPOOL
if you want to use a default directory other than
.B ~/Mix
or if Mixmaster is run in an environment where

address if
.B AUTOREPLY
is set (\fBABUSEFILE\fP).
.TP
.B reply.txt
Help file sent in response to replies to anonymous messages if
.B AUTOREPLY
is set (\fBREPLYFILE\fP).
.TP
.B usage.txt
Help file sent in response to non-remailer message sent to

exists, recipients are logged and a reply is sent only once to avoid
mail loops (\fBUSAGEFILE\fP).
.TP
.B blocked.txt
Information sent in response to automatically processed blocking requests if
.B AUTOREPLY
is set (\fBBLOCKFILE\fP).
.TP
.B pop3.cfg
List of POP3 accounts with lines of the form

from an address or IP in this list, it will be ignored. This
feature can be used to avoid spam and other abusive mail (\fBSOURCEBLOCK\fP).
.TP
.B header.blk
List of unwanted header fields. The file is used to delete unwanted
header lines (e.g. lines that indicate a false identity, or Usenet
control messages), and do other header filtering (\fBHDRFILTER\fP).

A destination address or header line is left out if it contains a
search string or matches a regular expression specified in the block
file. Lines in the block file that begin and end with a slash
.RB ( /\fIregexp\fB/ )
are interpreted as regular expressions. Lines without
slashes are used for case-independent substring search.

If a message contains a header line that matches a
.B /\fIregexp\fB/q
entry in
.BR header.blk ,
the entire message is deleted.

In addition, regular expressions can be substituted. Back-references
