About a month ago, I added a simple logging capability to my remailer, by adding these lines to my maildelivery file: Request-Remailing-To "" pipe R "date >> LOG.REMAIL" Anon-To "" pipe R "date >> LOG.REMAIL" Encrypted PGP pipe R "date >> LOG.ENCRYPTED" Here is a summary of the information from my LOG.REMAIL file. It shows the dates on which a remailed message went through my remailer, with a count of how many messages went through on that day: 1 Tue Mar 2 2 Wed Mar 3 1 Thu Mar 4 7 Fri Mar 5 1 Wed Mar 10 1 Sun Mar 14 1 Mon Mar 15 1 Tue Mar 16 1 Wed Mar 17 1 Thu Mar 18 1 Sun Mar 21 2 Mon Mar 22 10 Tue Mar 23 10 Wed Mar 24 6 Thu Mar 25 7 Fri Mar 26 6 Sat Mar 27 4 Sun Mar 28 1 Mon Mar 29 3 Wed Mar 31 4 Thu Apr 1 These statistics may be useful in considering such approaches as batching or rearranging messages to achieve greater anonymity.
