[updated Oct. 14 1994 to reflect berkeley ftp site change. - mech@eff.org] From: mg5n+remailers@andrew.cmu.edu (Automated reply from mail software) Subject: Info on anonymous remailers Reply-To: Matthew Ghio This info on internet anonymous remailers is maintained by Matthew Ghio Last Updated: May 1 1994 The newest version of this document can be obtained by sending mail to: mg5n+remailers@andrew.cmu.edu Automated software will email you a copy. I try to keep this info as up to date as possible, but I may have missed something. If there are any errors, or if you have anything to suggest or contribute, please let me know. The Cypherpunks' remailers allow you to send anonymous mail by adding the header Request-Remailing-To: and sending to one of the addresses listed below. Most (but not all) of these remailers also accept Anon-To: in place of Request-Remailing-To. These headers must be typed exactly as you see them; most remailers are case-sensitive. Mail without these headers is either rejected or delivered to the remailer administrators. The standard cypherpunks anonymous remailers are: hfinney@shell.portal.com catalyst@netcom.com nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu remailer@chaos.bsu.edu ebrandt@jarthur.claremont.edu remailer@merde.dis.org remailer@rebma.mn.org rperkins@nyx.cs.du.edu rperkins@nyx10.cs.du.edu hal@alumni.caltech.edu If you can not add the required headers, place two colons (::) on the very first line of your message, then on the next line type Request-Remailing-To: and the address you want to send anonymously to. Skip a line, and then begin your message. Note that by using this method it is possible to send a message consecutively thru more than one remailer. remailer@soda.berkeley.edu works slightly differently. It includes an encrypted reply block so that people can replies to your messages. It also requires that you use the header Anon-Send-To: to send anonymously, and features a direct usenet posting service. For more information on this remailer, finger remailer@soda.berkeley.edu, or send mail to the remailer with the Subject: remailer-info remail@extropia.wimsey.com requires that you public-key encrypt your messages with PGP. This added security prevents a hacker or nosey sysadmin at your site from reading your outgoing mail or finding out where it's going. This remailer is not directly connected to the internet, so messages will be delayed about an hour. Some of the other remailers support PGP as well. For remailers which support both encryption and plaintext messages, identify encrypted messages by adding a header which reads: Encrypted: PGP Encryption keys can be found below. You can add additional headers to your message by placing two number signs (##) at the beginning of the first line of the message body, and then add the special headers on subsequent lines. The bsu remailers require that you place the Subject: header in the body of the message, after the ##. The original subject line is removed. One common use of this feature is to add a Reply-To: line, so that replies can be redirected to you via an anonymous forwarding address. To get an anonymous forwarding address, send mail to mg5n+getid@andrew.cmu.edu For other information about this remailer, send mail to mg5n+remailer-help@andrew.cmu.edu There is a pseudonym-based anonymous remailer at anon.penet.fi. For information on this remailer, send mail to: help@anon.penet.fi There is another anonymous contact service at chop.ucsd.edu. It's not as full-featured as anon.penet.fi, but is considerably faster since it is not burdened by such a heavy load. For information on this remailer, send mail to: acs-info@chop.ucsd.edu There is a similiar service at twwells.com. For information on this system, send mail to anon-help@twwells.com Anonymous postings to usenet can be made by sending anonymous mail to one of the following mail-to-usenet gateways: group.name@demon.co.uk group.name@news.demon.co.uk group.name@news.cs.indiana.edu group.name@bull.com group.name@cass.ma02.bull.com group.name@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca group.name@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu group.name@ccs.uwo.ca (Kills headers, generates new Message-ID) group.name@julian.uwo.ca (Kills headers, generates new Message-ID) group.name@uunet.ca (Limited newsgroups) group.name@cs.dal.ca (Limited newsgroups) group.name@ug.cs.dal.ca (Limited newsgroups) group.name@paris.ics.uci.edu (Limited newsgroups) group.name.usenet@decwrl.dec.com (Preserves ALL headers) --> If you know of any more of these, please tell me!!! <-- Also tell me if you have problems with any of the usenet gates listed above. The mail-to-news gateways do not anonymize messages; you must use a remailer if you want the message to be posted anonymously. It would also be advisable to try a post to alt.test before relying on any such system to function as expected. Also note the special syntax required at dec.com The following are PGP public keys of the remailers which support encryption: 512-bit key, Key ID 64E8A7, created 1993/03/05 Also known as: Anonymous

PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- The operation of this system of remailers is a group effort which relies on the contributions of many generous people. Please do not abuse the remailers. If you have problems with a remailer, most of the remailer operators can be contacted by sending mail to the remailer's address without a remailing request header. Otherwise, follow the instructions that come in the messages from the remailer. Do not send complaints to postmaster at the site. Most of the remailers are run by people who are not the site administrators. Sending to postmaster or the site admins will most likely just make them annoyed at you, and won't get your problem resolved. If you can run an anonymous remailer, please volunteer to do so. Software is availiable from anonymous-FTP at ftp.csua.berkeley.edu in the directory /pub/cypherpunks/remailer/ Other remailer software is availiable at chaos.bsu.edu in the directory /pub/cypherpunks/remailer/ or contact me and I'll send you what you need. The software can often be run on personal accounts; Root or sysadmin access is not required in most cases. There are two usenet forums for discussion of anonymous remailer systems, alt.privacy.anon-server and alt.anonymous Additional information on the anonymous remailers is availiable from gopher://chaos.bsu.edu/ -- PGP PUBLIC KEY via finger!
