A pool is used for *replying* to anon mail. The problem is that it's hard
to build a system that allows replies to anon email and still maintains
absolute security. One way is to broadcast the reply. A pool does just
that - it's basically a mailing list. It could be a newsgroup.
Since any of the subscribers to the pool could be the intended recipient
of any particular message, it would be very hard to use the pool to trace
the anonymous recipient.
