An interesting problem with anonymous postage is that it is likely to kill
cover traffic generators.

Postage is most needed at the point of delivery.
That is the node that will be taking the heat/paying the lawyers. I'd
operate a remailer if I was never the last node, becuase I don't have
a site that can take the heat/seizure of machines for me. If we pay
those final nodes to do more, than intermediate nodes can still carry
cover traffic for free.
