Hi,
You may or may not know that recently I shutdown my remailers that I was
operating on openpgp.net due to potential compromise as a result of
various MIB activities.
I am currently looking at ways to re-establish these remailers in a manor
that will be more secure than my previous setup. I am looking at using an
openpgp.net mailbox for mixmaster messages but have the actual remailer
software running on my local machine.
I am curious as to what potential security risks may be involved in
operating a mixmaster remailer in this fashion. My biggest concern is the
affects on mixing & latency times. Below is how I plan on setting things
up:
-- Mailbox on openpgp.net (remailer@openpgp.net)
-- Messages would stay on server until I connected from local machine to
retreive mail.
-- Once messages were downloaded they would be fed to the mixmaster
software running locally.
-- Any messages in the outbound queue would be delivered on next
reconnect.
Any thoughts, comments or recommendations on this setup would be
appreciated.
tks,
