How to Use an Anonymous Remailer
From your Email Guide

Anonymous remailers allow you to send emails without giving your name or identity.

Difficulty Level: Average    Time Required: 10 minutes


Here's How:
  1. Create a new message in your email software or Web-based email account.
  2. Insert remailer@piratech.net as the recipient in the To: field.
  3. Give the message its subject.
  4. On the first line of the email's body, type "::" (two colons).
  5. On the line immediately following, type "Request-Remailing-To: ", followed by the recipient of the message.
  6. Leave the next line blank.
  7. Type your message.
  8. Send the anonymous email.


Tips:

  1. You can use a remailer different from remailer@piratech.net. Use a Cypherpunk remailer list (follow the link to the remailer Net Links below) to find a reliable one.
