This service accepts any message in the proper format at address remailer@dizum.com and automatically re-sends it anonymously.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING remailer@dizum.com

You can use Mixmaster, a program specially designed to send anonymous messages in a very secure way. The software is freely available from ftp://mixmaster.anonymizer.com/.

If you use Windows, you can use the remailer client software Jack B. Nymle from http://www.bigfoot.com/~potatoware/jbn/ or QuickSilver http://quicksilver.skuz.net/.

Mixmaster uses a message format based on RSA and Triple-DES encryption. Messages are multiply encrypted and formatted so as to appear identical to other Mixmaster messages. Message are sent through chains of remailers. Each remailer removes one layer of encryption, and forwards the message. When the final remailer delivers the decrypted message to the recipient, it is impossible to find out where it came from, even if part of the remailers in the chain are dishonest. At the time of this writing, Mixmaster remailers are operated independently be individuals in twelve countries in America, Asia, Australia and Europe.

The remailer accepts PGP-encrypted messages. You can get the public PGP key by sending mail with Subject: remailer-key to remailer@dizum.com.

If you want to send an anonymous message, first create a file with two colons in the first line of your message, and the line "Anon-To: address" in the following line. Follow that with a blank line and begin your message. For example:

=========================
::
Anon-To: beth@example.org

This is some anonymous mail.
=========================

Then, encrypt it with the PGP key of this remailer. Finally, send remailer@dizum.com a message that begins with two colons and the line "Encrypted: PGP", followed by your encrypted message:

==========================
From: joe@test.com
To: remailer@dizum.com

::
Encrypted: PGP

============================

The remailer will decrypt the message and forward it anonymously. The following e-mail would be delivered to beth@example.org:

============================
From: Nomen Nescio <nobody@dizum.com>
Comments: This message did not originate from the Sender address above. It was remailed automatically by anonymizing remailer software. Please report problems or inappropriate use to the remailer administrator at <abuse@dizum.com>.
To: beth@example.org

This is some anonymous mail.
============================

You will often want to include a Subject or other header lines in your anonymous mail. You can insert header lines in the anonymous message by preceding them with a "##" line in the unencrypted file:

============================
::
Anon-To: jim@example.org

##
Subject: Re: Twofish
In-Reply-To: Your message of "Tue, 12 Jan 1999 22:47:04 EST."
<199901130247.WAA02761@example.com>

This reply is anonymous.
============================

Even though PGP encryption is very secure, this still leaves some information open to attackers. For example, if someone gets an anonymous message whenever you have sent an encrypted message to a remailer, it is likely that you are the sender of those messages. You can instruct the remailer to delay your messages for some time or send it empty messages to make such analysis harder:

If you use the line "Null:" instead of "Anon-To:", the remailer will discard your message. The "Latent-Time:" header causes the remailer to keep your message for some time before forwarding it. "Latent-Time: +2:00" would delay the message for two hours. You can use a random delay by adding "r", for example "Latent-Time: +5:00r" would delay the message for up to five hours.

You can, of course, use another remailer to send the message to remailer@dizum.com anonymously. For example, take the message

============================
::
Anon-To: remailer@dizum.com

encrypt it with the PGP key of the Dizum remailer and send the double-encrypted message to remailer@dizum.com.

If you send your messages through a chain of several independent remailers, it will be hard to trace the anonymous message back to you. A much more secure solution, however, is to use Mixmaster for sending anonymous mail.

PGP encryption can also be used to receive mail at an anonymous address. Please see http://www.publius.net/n.a.n.html, the home page of the nym.alias.net pseudonym server, for more information.
