Anonymity: Remailers: Mixmaster remailers
Even cypherpunk remailers have their limits.
Although they are a lot more secure than a system like anon.penet.fi, there are still security holes
that can be used to discover the real sender of a message, even
when it has been "chained" through multiple remailers.
Mixmaster is the next generation of remailers, using advanced techniques
to make most methods of tracing remailed messages useless. It requires the
use of a special client to generate the Mixmaster messages.

Anonymity: Remailers: Cypherpunk remailers
- Cypherpunk remailers (sometimes referred to as "Type I") simply take your
message, strip off all headers and send it to the intended recipient.
This means that no one will be able to reply in e-mail to your
message, but it gives you an almost intraceable way of sending messages.
Warning: Non-US citizens should note that obtaining programs that
are capable of strong encryption from a US source may be a violation of
ITAR restrictions, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000,000 and 10 years
in prison. By obtaining programs from a US source, you are also endangering
the maintainer of the site for making this material available to non-US
citizens. Please obtain the program from a non-US source if possible.
