    Remailers

    Well, sort of.

    I need to set up a simple remailer for a project I'm working on...it doesn't need to be anything on the cypherpunk/mixmaster level, I just basically want a forwarder that strips out the headers of the original message and sends it anonymously to a single mailbox. Does anybody know of a way to do this or a script that could handle it for me?

    I can put it on whatever is required, *nix, OS X, or Win, although I'd prefer *nix or OS X.

    Thanks.

    Looks like you need to do it in *nix, otherwise you wouldn't have access to the whole header AFAIK.

      Really? Then how do Dos/Win based remailers work?

        Nobody? El Glonk? Wraith? UR already weighed in, or I'd add him, too.

        Oh well.

          I am not sure there's such a thing, especially DOS. I suppose it is theoretically to connect a DOS box to the 'Net, but you probably have to write all the software to do so.

          Anyway, I suppose you can write a remailer on any OS, as long as the OS has support for TCP/IP and you understand SMTP. You collect e-mail messages from clients, rip off their original headers and create new ones, then send them on to their intended destinations. If a messages bounces, you look up the information for that particular user, and send it back to him.

          Sounds easy, eh?

              You talking about something like Bigfoot?

                dv8ed,

                Do you know SMTP?


                Sloww,

                Not Bigfoot. Bigfoot is a forwarding service for incoming e-mail. This one does anonoymous remailing for outgoing mail.

                    No, unfortunately, thus the sigh.

                    It may be resolved now, however. I'm still curious about how I would go about doing it, though, if you feel like going into it.

                      Unfortunately, I don't know SMTP, that's why I was speaking in general terms.

                            Oddly enough, the New Media department (at UMaine). At their request.
