Go to the directory you installed Mixmaster in and individually edit abuse.txt, blocked.txt, help.txt, reply.txt, and usage.txt to your liking; you probably won't need to do much, as the standard files are very good. Next, sign all of these files, to prove to any recipients of these messages that you are the one who sent them. The typical command is <tt>gpg --sign abuse.txt</tt>; make sure you replace the unsigned file with the signed one after you've done this. <li>Sign your remailer's public key, the adminkey.txt file, using the same procedure as above.</li> <li>Setup your remailing strategy. This is controlle through your SENDPOOLTIME, POOLSIZE, RATE, IDEXP, and PACKETEXP values in mix.cfg. The first two values should be set higher for greater latency in your remailer. RATE can be lowered if you are worried about floods; since this determines the percent of messages that go out each mailing, setting a lower number here slows output of messages that have flooded into your remailer. PACKETEXP determines how long you hold onto partial messages while waiting for their other pieces to come in; a long value here is probably good. IDEXP determines how long a list of message IDs is kept, to help prevent replay attacks; while this cannot be set below 5 days, it is probably a good idea to have a low value here, since legitimate messages should have almost no ID duplication.<li> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
