    Hi everyone,

    Quick update on https://m2usenet.virebent.art - we've added two major
    privacy enhancements:

    **1. Random Fog Sphinx relay selection**
    Instead of using a single SMTP relay, m2usenet now randomly selects from
    4 Fog Sphinx mixnet nodes for each post.
    This provides load balancing, automatic failover, and enhanced anonymity since posts exit from different
    nodes.
    Each message still routes through 3-6 hops with AES-256-GCM encryption.

    The 4 relays:

    **2. Stefan Claas MID implementation (PHP)**
    We've ported Stefan Claas's Message-ID system to PHP for anti-tracking.
    His original work inspired our implementation which generates Message-IDs
    with timezone-aware timestamps, random jitter, and optional MD5 obfuscation
    to prevent correlation attacks via timing patterns.

    Big thanks to Stefan Claas for the inspiration and pioneering work on privacy-preserving technologies! EfOA

    Both features are live now.
    Test it out and let us know what you think.
