    That's what hardens anonymous mailing, so that's the way to go.

    It is true that Onion Courier works similar to TypeI, however without
    logging and storing data, compared to remailers, people use nowadays.

    How will we know? The only fact here is that you give us the runaround
    day after day. You aren't trustworthy. And, beyond that, I'd never use
    an anonymizing network which, like a VPN, only bases on trust.


    Secondly it has the advantage over Mixmaster/YAMN that anonymous nodes
    can interact with public nodes without that the public nodes know the >connecting anonymous nodes. It is a fully decentralzed and global Tor
    Hidden Service Anonymous Network, which can be run on local PCs.

    The only way forward is to equip Type 2 remailers with Tor Hidden
    Services, not to revert to now obsolete weak Type 1 remailing, which
    even with Tor is less secure than Type 2 without it.


    Try that with Mixmaster/YAMN, their public IP addresses/Domains and
    logging capabilities. Users of such systems can only been protected
    with Tor. That should tell you somehting!

    That's a blatant lie! As long as at least one remailer of each chain
    isn't compromised you can't assign messages leaving a Type 2 system to
    the packets entering it even with extensive logging from in- or outside.

    I don't care about your interested motives, but you low-life continue to
    spread FUD, nothing but baseless accusations. It isn't Mixmaster or
    YAMN, it's your Type 1 shit, which can't be protected even by Tor interconnections.


    It remains to be seen if Zax is willing to implement the points I
    have recently outlined here, regarding YAMN, to make YAMN truly
    anonymous, without any logging capabilities postfix offers, while
    postfix is not needed.

    But it's not you who would take credit for it, as that obvious
    enhancement was already proposed a long time ago. The OmniMix developer
    added a Tor module for remailer packet forwarding about two decades ago!

    | 0.9.3.8 Tor proxy option added for Mixmaster smtp output.

    So take your mood disorder medicine to attenuate your inferiority

    You do not understand, what I was talking about in my recent "YAMN improvements" thread.

    Anyways, I already have an implementation of a Tor Hidden Service
    Onion Courier *Mix*node ready, which uses a hybrid poisson+batch
    mixing technique, with all pool messages in memory and not on disk,
    memguard protected. It uses http and not smtp, to avoid postfix
    usage and it's logging capabilities. Onion Courier Mixnodes can
    be set-up in a minute and run either publicity or anonymous, on a
    VPS or at home, while exchanging messages with each other.

    with all pool messages in memory and not on disk,

    Why? It makes the network less reliable if a node loses all messages with every simple restart.

    It uses http and not smtp, to avoid postfix usage

    That's a very odd argument to make. Do all remailers use postfix?

    and it's logging capabilities.

    The protocol was designed that logged metadata does not have information about message contents or link source and destination. Use Tor if you don't want remailer servers to see your IP address.

    while exchanging messages with each other.

    Are there any pingers that monitor network reliability and latency?

    mixed order Mixmaster and YAMN Type II remailers are NOT IN THE LEAST vulnerable to timing correlation attacks, which renders logging
    irrelevant. That's what makes anonymous remailing so secure compared
    with Tor, where the major weak spot is its realtime client-server communication. You're washed-up if an adversary has an idea of the
    server you may use through a Tor circuit no matter how long it may be.


    above all his links prove nothing. And they relate to Tor, not
    remailers.

    Tor and remailers go hand in hand.

    So if it's about Tor, why doesn't Class promote his crap at the Tor
    page. I'm sure they'll blow him apart. Problem solved.

    That guy is mentally ill! And we have to take a stand against that
    crude FUD attack. This is a textbook example of Wikipedia misuse.

    He's done quite a bit to expand and leverage something that needed it.

    On taking stock, you only promoted the nym VPN company, tuta mail shit,
    weak Tor mailing and ORBs, which are broken by design, to lead us away
    from our secure anonymity tools. That's not just nothing of relevance.
    It's even an offensive and misleading strategy to counter our efforts.

    obviously, wikipedia's current "anonymous_remailer" page could use
    some
    serious updating . . . e.g. why no mention of usenet or a.p.a-s? why
    is
    mixminion still there? and why are pseudonymous "tor-based
    alternatives"
    added to this anonymous remailers page instead of under
    "tor_(network)"?
    and the list goes on . . . wikipedia is mainstream media, so they
    can't
    be expected to ever allow or tolerate non-mainstream/unapproved
    content

    approved, status quo; unapproved, invisible; never the twain shall
    meet

    Some day D is going to learn what the Shift key is for or find the
    energy to push it or gain the intelligence to use it.

    with all pool messages in memory and not on disk,

    Why? It makes the network less reliable if a node loses all messages with every simple restart.

    I do not want that third parties or an operator can look from a publicty
    run Mixnode to look into the pool, to see if there are messages in for anonymous nodes.

    It uses http and not smtp, to avoid postfix usage

    That's a very odd argument to make. Do all remailers use postfix?

    Yes, or Exim.

    The protocol was designed that logged metadata does not have information about message contents or link source and destination. Use Tor if you don't want remailer servers to see your IP address.

    postfix log files for Mixmaster or YAMN, if logging is enabled, can see the source and destination of all traffic, except a user connects via Tor.

    while exchanging messages with each other.

    Are there any pingers that monitor network reliability and latency?

    I do not plan to create pinger software, as it is not needed. But people
    can of course create such software and run it.

    Onion Courier Mixnets are more desigend as private Networks, run by people
    who do want to stay anonymous with their family, friends and co-workers.

    However, I do plan to run three public Mixnodes, so that people can try
    the Mixnet out, for comparison.

    Yes, this is a good Mixmaster tutorial by inwtx.

    This way, with a GitHub account, for example, people

    A central collecting point at Wikipedia would make a huge difference!

    We have to attract attention to keep anonymous remailing alive and well.

    But if nobody is willing to expose himself it would be a difficult task
    as long as Wikipedia blocks anonymous editing.

    So my question:

    Is there anybody out there whom we can send text fragments and graphics
    to build the greatest Wikipedia *Anonymous Remailer* page of all times?

    Stefan Claas once again didn't get it:

    postfix log files for Mixmaster or YAMN, if logging is enabled, can see the source and destination of all traffic, except a user connects via Tor.

    A) It's impossible to assign outgoing remailer packets to those that
    once entered the remailer as they look different! And file creation
    timestamps wouldn't also get you any further.

    B) Having to deal with a remailer chain of 6, 8, 10 or even more hops
    you'd need to compromise each link of it and thereby possibly the whole
    network to be successful with your attack.

    Nevertheless, why not run Mixmaster and YAMN servers along with Tor and
    add a higher priority .onion address to remailer MX records as
    demonstrated by frell years ago?

    | 10:36:27.979 0 Mail exchange server(s) for 'remailer.frell.eu.org' found on an external nameserver

    But what I won't like is a Tor scenario, where the identity of remops is unknown, protected by hidden service addresses.

    : Hi all,
    :
    : yesterday I uploaded OmniMix 0.9.3.8 with native Tor support for the
    : integrated Mixmaster related anon mail client. So there would be no
    : need for Privoxy, SocksCap etc..
    :
    : In my first testings I succeeded in sending messages through Tor to
    : deuxpi.ca:25 (via a TLS connection), and the panta hidden service at
    : rjgcfnw4sd2jaqfu.onion:25 (for unknown reasons unfortunately only
    : unencryted), using Socks5. Besides the HS indicator, also regarding
    : the Ethereal protocols, I assume, the DNS requests were routed
    : correctly through Tor.
    :
    : To feel safer, I would be pleased about a second opinion. Could one of
    : the Tor experts spare me some time and take a glance at the current
    : version, to check out whether there are any data leakages or other
    : security flaws?
    :
    : Thanks

    My solution is for users of decentralized private Mixnets, of unknown
    Network size to third parties and only the users running such servers
    know with whom they like to mix and communicate. This IMHO can encourage
    people to safely run a Mixnode at home (Raspberry Pi) and no learning
    curve and maintenance is required.
