Dummy Message Mailer. Has The Time Come?

| Remops worry day and night, I guess, about having enough cover traffic so
that messages can't be tracked between entering the remailer and leaving
it.
Why not have one or more dummy message mailers? They would do nothing but
send dummy messages to every remailer in their stats, with the remailer
being only the first one in a long chain. The first remailer to receive a
dummy message would gain nothing by it since the GA (Global Adversary)
would know what it was, but the remailer would also receive dummy messages
that had already passed through 4 or 5 other remailers, so the GA would
have no way of knowing they were not real messages.
The question of how much dummy traffic is needed to sufficiently obscure a
real message seems to be a difficult one, so my suggestion may be
useless; but there it is.

Useless. A "dummy remailer" could be filtered out at the source without
touching the rest of the traffic.
The way it's done now is far better. Both clients and remailers
generate their own and mix it in with valid traffic in transit.
