Risks of writing a remailer

What are the legal risks of writing (and releasing) a remailer,
 and what steps can an author go to to minimise any unwanted (legal
 or civil) attention ?

I've never heard of anyone complaining that I wrote a remailer.  A few
were upset at my running a remailer, but nobody every complained that the
software was available.

As far as minimizing attention to yourself, you obviously know how to
post anonymously.
