It seems to me that the problem here really isn't tor, but rather one of not having an equivalent of privoxy for SMTPS? HTTP was dealt with easily because people approached the privacy angle with privoxy independently of tor. I agree that it would be nice to start a similar project for SMTP(S). Seems like hacking a simple remailer such as ssmtp would be one way to start, -Martin This page lists many ssmtp alternatives: http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/ssmtp ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
