One of the ways to mitigate this risk is to set up your remailer in
middleman mode (at least in 2.9beta23). To quote from the installer:
Mixmaster can be installed in the low-maintenance
`middleman' mode. In that mode, it will send mail to
other remailers only, to avoid complaints about
anonymous messages.
Obviously this isn't a perfect solution, but it helps somewhat. It's what
I'm planning on doing until I can familiarize myself with the legal
ramifications of running an "open" remailer.
