Starting in a few days, the remailer will not accept a message unless it is the last one in the chain. This change affects only messages addressed to the remailer, eelbash@eelbash.yi.org; it does not affect any of the fine Eelbash services - the mini-nym, the quick post, or posting with a password. The reason for the change is mainly to make it easier to deal with floods, since, as an exit-only remailer, I can safely drop any messages which are directed to another remailer. This lessens the amount of work the remailer has to do with a flood message, and also ensures that it is not passed on to bedevil the next remailer. It should benefit users of the remailer, since the remailer's load will be much lighter and it can do an even better job processing mail sent to it. In a day or so, I will request other remailers to drop Eelbash as a possible auto or random remailer. That will cause any messages to be deleted at remailers who do so, but messages that get through will be dropped at Eelbash, if they turn out to be middleman messages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use iQEVAwUBQFTJk7touFRn83cdAQHZzwgAjNfs0mf9ZIWNLjDBxHGzDmrRiwDVDt3i gugNA0t2M5YtXxW/dxqBiYJPzJFXZt7335IPIV97kE2C6YqxgJ3+8FDRoVky4Tmw TDQoxqgf62aj8iWli7hzUqRb4sMD8xW10bhjyU64erC8u0z1Lib9PnBPYCFsHg9U oCxVUC0JPhloXeiQtwlr4T9E/sO/2KSkdhsVIHeu237J8i91p6XEqh5DUXwihGUU g/AZxnfGH8VYhVrAcw/qthXnr7N+QSkCpc1HjHFMjdznLiBg5jkfWA/ypmRW4jox 7Iyv+maz1EnLw+MYnkxad0xPp04RuIDy7n0n+1r3M32YIPtTjqOtQw== =6wZB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
