Sending mail to anXXXXX@anon.penet.fi compromises your anon.penet.fi id,
unless you're careful to use passwords, and if you're sending the message
directly, you can switch the format to naXXXXX@anon.penet.fi. But,
- Does the cypherpunks mailing list have any anXXXXX@anon.penet.fi subscribers,
or is Eric careful to switch them to naXXXXX in the list?
- Is there any way to tell?
- If mail is forwarded, either by something like cypherpunks that patches
up header lines, or by someone else (e.g. a forger, or some cypherpunks
subscriber, or somebody forwarding their mail to their anXXXXX account),
will that also compromise the id, or will that just compromise the
id of the forwarder, if known?
- How good is anon.penet.fi about checking this stuff for non-passworded users?
Thanks; Bill Stewart

Once we had one, and everyone who posted got assigned an ID. Now I'm
careful to add them as naXXXXX.
>- Is there any way to tell?
If people aren't getting an ID assigned when they post, there's no problem.
