Perhaps in your torrc: SMTPPort 25 SMTPRelay smtp.gmail.com:465 SMTPRelaySSL On SMTPRelayUser username SMTPRelayPass password It could strip a variety of headers, check for keywords, obfuscate the timezone in the Date header etc etc. You could even configure it to reject mail that isn't pgp signed or encrypted. Could give it a whitelist of addresses that you're allowed to email. That sort of thing. That would be neat. I'm not sure if anyone would be willing to put in the work though. I wish I could code C. Or of course, you could have an entirely separate application to do all that, ala privoxy/polipo. - -- Dawn -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIro0VcoR2aV1igfIRAlBsAJ9MtZ1MD5VC+1tDNPjYFhCse89YMgCfRnZU M/z4TgadC7uY83IDKjKFR1o= =VWCh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
