Communication: Type 0 Remailers At first, there were the "type 0" remailers. The alt.sex.* ones, and anon.penet.fi are the most well-known You send a message to a server, who strips the headers and forwards the body. You also get a pseudonym like an123865@anon.penet.fi that people can use to respond to you. But the remailer operator has a master list matching the nyms to the real addresses! This list is attackable, by legal (or extra-legal) means, and Julf Helsingus shut his remailer down rather than expose his users to risk.
