We have no interest in breaking into 3l337 w4R3z!! sites. Nor do we need to blackmail anybody. Most of us have no need to conceal our identities (although some still do - that's their choice). In short, we're Unix hackers. Not security hackers. Even so, being a helpful sod, I'll give you a pointer. *a - geddit??!?! Oh... The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to chain re-mailers. Go and do some research on anonymous re-mailers. The FAQs and manuals are full of lots of good info on how to chain. Most of them do the hard work for you. As for a secure webmail host - http://www.hushmail.com has worked for me in the past. Quite good. Oh, and now you've made the decision to hide your identity and make it publically known, you know your phones will be tapped mail (snail and what I call "normal") will be intercepted, your grandmother will get copies of *those* pictures of you, and your life will now be a misery. And to make it worse, you've just taken advice on protecting your identity from an ex-civil-servant. Ho ho ho ho. We control the vertical. We control the horizontal. Just sit back and relax. Relax... relax... many miles to go before you sleep... The poster regrets correspondance on this matter is now closed. -- Paul Robinson
