Exactly. Sometimes *all* the nymservers are down at the same time.

Sometimes *all* the nymservers are down at the same time. Well, I just designed a nymserver that's probably more complicated and difficult to use than any previous one. From this experience, I have concluded that if you want to design a remailer with real security (as opposed to a penet-style server), it just won't be easy to use that remailer manually. Even alpha.c2.org was kind of a pain to use manually. I therefore think in the long run it's better to bite the bullet, write as secure a nym server as possible, and expect that people will use special client software to use the remailer. Incidentally, if anyone else wants to run another nym.alias.net-style remailer, the code is available and I'd be glad to help anyone set things up if that person is serious about running a nymserver.
