initial import of mixmaster-2.0.4b45: -- This software comes in a client only configuration! If you want to setup a mixmaster server, read through the example files, man page and keep in mind, that the server stores all it's files in $MIXPATH (/etc/mixmaster by default). The purpose of anonymous remailers (hereafter simply remailers) is to provide protection against traffic analysis. Traffic analysis is the study of who you are communicating with, when, and how often. This reveals more than you might expect about your activities. It will indicate who your friends and colleagues are (and they can be told apart by looking at the times you contact them). What your interests are, from which catalog companies you contact, and which ftp and WWW sites you visit. Traffic analysis can even reveal business secrets, e.g. your frequent contact with a rival could give hints of an impending merger. Remailers protect your e-mail from traffic analysis. The original remailers did this by removing all headers, except the subject line, from any message you sent to them and then forwarding them a destination of your choice. The recipient of such a message would not know who had sent it. The addition of encryption to this scheme gave significant protection from attackers who simply look a the primary improvement with the type 2 remailer Mixmaster.
