> What is your working definition of "nym server"?
There have been discussions concernign this before both on here
and other mailing lists, such as remailer-operators. A nym
server is an operation similar to anon.penet.fi, but more secure. Sameer
has two of these operating now that uses PGP encrypted reply blocks
and such. [omega.c2.org and alpha.c2.org, both of which use different
operating methods]
What John is attempting to do is have a nymserver like anon.penet.fi,
where folks can create an alias and send/recieve mail/postings to it.
However, unlike Julf's system, a secure nymserver would prevent the owner
from being able to divulge who the real-life person is behind the
alias because of the PGP encrypted reply block and other options
involved.

But how does one ensure that no logs are kept on the server, and how
does the encrypted reply block work (I can't see how this will shield
identity from both of the communicating parties)?
