Idea: make a Netcom remailer fake mail, so the recipient will have no idea
where the remailer is. If it doesn't say catalyst@netcom.com on the from line
Netcom wont ever hear about it ;-).

1. If you fake mail by talking SMTP directly, the IP address or domain
name of the site making the outgoing connection will appear in a
Received field in the header somewhere.
2. Fake mail by devious means is generally frowned upon. There's no
need to take a back-door approach here--it's bad politically, as in
Internet politics.
