1. No need to download anonymizing software which is not safe. 2. You can use any O.S. for your remailing: Windows, Linux, Tails etc. 3. Use a computer or laptop in another area without anonymizing software. 4. If using Tails there will be no trace left on your computer or laptop. 5. If using Linux from a flash drive without persistance, same as above. How To Send Cypherpunk Anonymous Email... The first thing you need to do is check the stats of the remailer/s you want to use... Remailer Stats: https://www.barnish.org/echolot/rlist2.html Remailer Stats: http://echolot.theremailer.net/sideview/rlist2-post.html Download PGP freeware... https://www.gnupg.org/download/ Sending manually eliminates the need for software on your computer which could have a backdoor or look suspicious on your computer or laptop. These are the fundamental instructions to understand how remailer messages are created and this will help you to understand how remailers work. If you want to send an anonymous message, first of all create a file containing: - two colon signs ( :: ) in the first line, - the phrase "Anon-To: e-mail address" in the second line whereby the e-mail address should be the address the remailer will send the message to. The third line should be empty and the message text will follow. For Usenet posts you must use: Anon-Post-To: rec.sport.football.college or the target group. For rec.arts.tv you would use: Anon-Post-To: rec.arts.tv and so on. e.g. 2 colons on the first line. Anon-To: or Anon-Post-To: on second line. One blank space line. (third line) 2 hash tags. (fourth line) Subject: (fifth line) One blank space line. (sixth line) Start message on 7th line. Type your message eg: ____________________________________________________________________________________ :: Anon-Post-To: rec.sport.football.college ## Subject: Going To War (or whatever your subject is) War is about to break out in... (now encrypt above message with the remailer key of the remailer you're sending it to and when ready to send it should look something like below) :: Encrypted: PGP -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- owE1jMsNwjAUBH3gZMk9PClnUoBPUANpwElW2OBPZD8H0gd1UCP2gduuNDNfj IcSHT4zCbQmtlbzGFM9T0jSD7QVvEzaPcUlBSSWHQclbnR9YWJNp5BFSLdR9s CijF3NGxybry/1Rsqn4la3a0JiIhLvnYGCu9HFtiC8oIxnlkeuIYe+EH=HgDa -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ============================================================= :: Anon-To: [email protected] Write here your message ============================================================= Remailers only accept messages encrypted through PGP or GPG, so your message must be encrypted with the remailer public key, which you can get by sending a message to the remailer ([email protected]) and by entering "remailer-key" in the subject. So the above message must be encrypted with the remailer PGP key and eventually sent to [email protected] by entering two colon signs at the beginning of the message and, in the second line, the phrase "Encrypted: PGP" followed by the previously encrypted message. ============================================================= From: [email protected] To: [email protected] :: Encrypted: PGP -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.3i owE1jMsNwjAUBH3gZMk9PClnUoBPUANpwElW2OBPZD8H0gd1UCP2gduuNDNfj IcSHT4zCbQmtlbzGFM9T0jSD7QVvEzaPcUlBSSWHQclbnR9YWJNp5BFSLdR9s CijF3NGxybry/1Rsqn4la3a0JiIhLvnYGCu9HFtiC8oIxnlkeuIYe+EH=HgDa -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ============================================================= The remailer will decode your message and send it anonymously. If you want to include a subject or other headers which shouldn't be filtered by the remailer, you can enter them as explained below before encrypting the message for the remailer: ============================================================= :: Anon-To: [email protected] ## Subject: Re: Twofish In-Reply-To: Your message of "Tue, 12 Jan 1999 22:47:04 EST." <[email protected]> Message text ============================================================= Even if PGP encryption is very safe, using a remailer in the simplest way is not the best system for protecting your identity. Therefore, you can tell the remailer, for instance, to keep the message you've sent for a certain period of time and to forward it later so as to avoid the so-called traffic analysis. If you enter the header Latent-Time: +2:00, your message will be delayed by 2 hours, while if you use the syntax Latent-Time: +5:00r, you'll have a random delay between 0 and 5 hours. The best way to use a remailer is by using them in a chain, by sending a message from one remailer to the other before it reaches your address. Let's make an example with the above message: ============================================================= :: Anon-To: [email protected] :: Encrypted: PGP -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.3i owE1jMsNwjAUBH3gZMk9PClnUoBPUANpwElW2OBPZD8H0gd1UCP2gduuNDNfI T4zCbQmtlbzGFM9T0jSD7QVvEzaPcUlBSSWHQclbnR9YWJNp5BFSLdR9CijF3 ybry/1Rsqn4la3a0JiIhLvnYGCu9HFtiC8oIxnlkeuIYe+EH=HgDq -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ============================================================= you can encrypt this message with the PGP key of another remailer (e.g. Dizum) and send the encrypted message to this remailer: [email protected] Thus Dizum will receive the message and decode it and will find the instructions to send it to [email protected], which in its turn will decode it and send it to [email protected] There is more on remailing here: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.privacy.anon-server/c/vMNR33GCKhs This page needs updating but worth a look: https://dizum.com/ You might also want to consider 'FREE' end to end email encryptiom for your daily emailing to friends and family etc: https://tuta.com/pricing Stay safe, stay encrypted!
