Author responsible use of redirection services
Nomen Nescio

Somebody recently misused the bigapple and eelbash 'redirection' services, the ones where you send an email to somenewsgroup@bigapple.yi.org, or somenewsgroup@newsanon.yi.org, and the email gets redirected to somenewsgroup.

The criminal used a 'from' address of somenewsgroup@bigapple.yi.org and somenewsgroup@newsanon.yi.org and then sent emails to remailers with 'remailer-key', 'remailer-conf' in the subject line.

This resulted in the remailer sending the information to the 'from' address, which redirected it to newsgroups.

The criminal also signed up for yahoo or some place so that email sent there was redirected to the newsgroups.

I was wondering if a responsible use of these services would be as a way to get remailer information - remailer key, conf, help, etc., without the user partitioning himself.

Right now, you send an email to the remailer and it sends the information back to your real email address. Would it make sense for the remailer to send it to alt.anonymous.messages, with a subject like 'X Remailer Key'?

Some of this information is available at noreply.org, bananansplit.info, and other places, but other information about a given remailer is not.
