Hm. Seems someone sent a message to my frienly-mailer filter using penet remailer. So of course that person will get an anonymized reply, thus being able to know what my anon-id there is. Fortunetly I don't use penet or rely on it for any form of security. That's one situation where it would be nice to specify in a line somewhere *not* to anonymize mail sent through there (a command in header saying X-Do-Not-Anonymize maybe?) Rob.

Non-anonymous mail can already be sent through penet by sending the message
to na[anon id] instead of an[anon id]. The problem you describe with your
mail filter also exists for mailing lists and other instances where a person
obliviously sends e-mail to an anonymous id. Unfortunately, other
double-blind, pseudonymous remailers have the same problem. The only way to
solve the problem is to not have remailers enable a double-blind by default
(or conversely, have all mail programs rearrange the address so the reply is
sent non-anonymously).

If you are using procmail, then what you want is a recipes
at the begining like this:
LOG=penet$NL
:1hW:
^From.*.penet.fi
.mailbox/penet
Respond to the penet.fi messages as you wish.
Alternatively, you can just send the message to /dev/null
That recipe hasn't been tested, so it may need some tweeking
on it.
