There are thousends of mails going in and out of my remailer without a
problem. Is there anybody else with that problem not being able to send to
my Remailer ?

Yes. You and a couple other remailers have the same problem, and you'll
never see it because messages are rejected before you get them.
Remailers running on providers who use RBL's suck big time for those of
us who run our own mail transports, users and operators alike.

I have currently the incoming mail set-up in the following way:
When you send to my remailer it goes to runaway@erhard-wittig.de The
MX-Record of erhard-wittig.de is pointing to runaway.dynalias.org which is
the link to my machine. It goes then to my Mercury/32 MTA and from there to
Reliable.
An alternative would that the other Remailers would sent the mail directly
to runaway@runaway.dynalias.org. This on the other hand would mean that I
have to change again the remailer email address from
runaway@erhard-wittig.de to runaway@runaway.dynalias.org .This would avoid
that you need to go through erhard-wittig.de.
I don't know whether this would solve the problem you guys have. If, yes and
if we can solve with that the problem of everybody, I would do again the
change but we all need then to be sure because I do not want to make a third
change of the remailer-email-address and then we have a new problem for
other remailers. I face the same problem with some remailers when I was
sending out from my Mercury/32 MTA directly without going through a
provider. Then I changed the Mercury set-up to send via authorized SMTP
through a provider and I have since that NO problems at all sending mail
regardless whether I send mail to another remailer or to a non remailer
email address. I don't know what kind of environment bigapple or you are
running and if that would solve the problems you are currently facing
sending mail to my remailer.
If there is an set-up solving all problems for all remailers, I would do
again a change but my current impression was that when I changed I solved
some problems and some new came up.
I don't want to screw-up by anther change unless I can be 100 % sure that
this is the final solution satisfying the needs of everybody.
Let me have your experts advise what would be the best way to proceed. Is
there a set-up solving all problems for everybody ? How is panta remailer
set-up ? panta is as far as I know also a Remailer running with Reliable.

Your secondary MX rejects mail from dialups. While most mail is send
directly to your primary MX, a small percentage will always be delivered to
your backup MX, even if your primary is up.

erhard-wittig.de. 86400 IN MX 5 runaway.dynalias.org.
erhard-wittig.de. 86400 IN MX 15 mx00.kundenserver.de.
erhard-wittig.de. 86400 IN MX 15 mx01.kundenserver.de.

First fix this:

Getting MX record for erhard-wittig.de (from local DNS server, may be cached)... Got it!

Host Preference IP(s) [Country]
runaway.dynalias.org. 5 [No IP found]
mx01.kundenserver.de. 15 212.227.15.169 [DE]212.227.15.150 [DE]212.227.15.134 [DE]212.227.15.186 [DE]
mx00.kundenserver.de. 15 212.227.15.134 [DE]212.227.15.186 [DE]212.227.15.169 [DE]212.227.15.150 [DE]


Searching for runaway.dynalias.org MX record at d.root-servers.net [128.8.10.90]:

Searching for runaway.dynalias.org MX record at ns5.dyndns.org. [63.170.10.81]:
Reports that no MX records exist. [took 6 ms]

Answer:
No MX records exist for runaway.dynalias.org. [Neg TTL=600 seconds]

Details:
ns5.dyndns.org. (an authoritative nameserver for dynalias.org.)
says that there are no MX records for runaway.dynalias.org.


When the MX for erhard-wittig.de points to the MX for runaway.dynalias.org then
most mail should go directly to your IP address of MercuryS.

But since there is no MX record for runaway.dynalias.org other MTAs will deliver to the next higher preference.
So now all mail is sent to the two kundenserver.de MXs.

>I face the same problem with some remailers when I was sending out

Whatever was this problem was a result of incorrect configuration.
You probably did not announce (HELO) with a FQDN but with a nonroutable IP address.
The only other issue would be some MTAs may want to IDENT your MTA.
No big deal there, either run a IDENT server or if no then transaction is slightly delayed.

Would the follwing be the solution ??? I think tis would avoid that some of
the incoming mail goes to the secondary MX mx00.kundenserver.de.I had
exactly for that reason changed the primary one from "mx00.kundenserver.de"
to "runaway.dynalias.org".

I have currently the incoming mail set-up in the following way:
When you send to my remailer it goes to runaway@erhard-wittig.de The
MX-Record of erhard-wittig.de is pointing to runaway.dynalias.org which is
the link to my machine. It goes then to my Mercury/32 MTA and from there to
Reliable.
An alternative would that the other Remailers would sent the mail directly
to runaway@runaway.dynalias.org. This on the other hand would mean that I
have to change again the remailer email address from
runaway@erhard-wittig.de to runaway@runaway.dynalias.org .This would avoid
that you need to go through erhard-wittig.de.
I don't know whether this would solve the problem you guys have. If, yes and
if we can solve with that the problem of everybody, I would do again the
change but we all need then to be sure because I do not want to make a third
change of the remailer-email-address and then we have a new problem for
other remailers. I face the same problem with some remailers when I was

I don't want to screw-up by anther change unless I can be 100 % sure that
this is the final solution satisfying the needs of everybody.
Let me have your experts advise what would be the best way to proceed.
If switching to a new remailer email address runaway@runaway.dynalias.org I
would do once more a change but it would have the disadvantage for all of
you that we have to change again which I rather like to avoid. On the other
hand if this is the only way, I would to it to help you to solve the problem
that is some circumstances the mail goes to the secondary backup MX
"mx00.kundenserver.de" which definitely rejects dynamic IP.

I have set now as a first step for solution the priority of MX Record
runaway.dynalias.org to 0 instead of 5. I hope with the higher priority we
get less mail routed to the backup MX mx00.kundenserver.de. Let's see
whether this helps and reduces the probability of Dynamic IP errors.

My advice would be to just drop your secondary MX's. Any service that
enforces SORBS is going to be a pain in the XXX in the long term. You
are no more likely to lose mail without secondary MX's as other MTA's
will continue retrying to reach your primary if it's down.

If you really want a secondary MX, I'll host one for you. Same goes for
any other remop.

No, the priority value has no influence in itself. It's only the relative
order that is important.

Also, you *will* always see mail delivered to the secondary MX even if your
primary is online due to reasons beyond your control. Maybe there was a
hiccup on the network and the sending host could not resolve or reach your
primary MX. For optimal results, all your MXs should accept mail to the
remailer address from any host.

Can't you remove the kundenserver.de MX records?

With your current setup, there's still the problem that mail might bounce
or even get delivered to a completely different server when your own server
changes IP while the DynDNS record still points to the old address. This
can only be solved with a MX on a static IP address that forwards mail to
the remailer over an authenticated connection (eg. a VPN connection or by
checking the TLS certificate).

Thanks a lot for your help. I have dropped the secondary MX Records. Now
only one, the primary to runaway.dynalias.org exists. Hope this helps.

I have meanwhile deleted the backup MX Records pointing to the server
denying dynamic IP. Now I have only one MX Record pointing from
erhard-wittig.de to runaway.dynalias.org. This avoids that a few mails going
to the backup MX. Now everthing goes directly from you via
runaway.dynalias.org to my MTA Server.
Before there were some messages going via the backup MX to the mail server
of my provider hosting erhard-wittig.de. And this provider denies dynamic
IP. I hope that due to the removal of the backup MX Record we have fixed it
now. If you still get denies let me know and we need to further investigate.
You need to be aware that some denies can also result from updates of my IP
(the provider makes once a day a hard stop of my ADSL connection and then
the router reconnects (with a new IP, since myone is not static). In this
case there might be a small time-lag between the change of IP address and
the update to the new IP done by dydns. Should not be a bg problem since I
thing your MTA tries several times to resend a message and as soon as the
dyndns update is done in the system (shortly after reconnect an dyndns
update) it should be delivered to me slightly later. So let's see within the
next 24 hours whether the deletion of my backup MX shows improvements in the
sense that you get less denies. If not just come back with a post.

That seems to have fixed the problem. No denies for the past hour.

This message was sent via two or more anonymous remailing services.

Good to hear, thanks for making me aware of the error.

Wouldn't that give you the opportunity to gather information you
shouldn't have about how messages are routed through the network? In
fact if several RemOps routed their mail through an exchange under your
control couldn't you theoretically see entire chains laid out right in
front of you?

That's not an accusation, just an observation of fact that it's unwise
for a RemOp to hand his traffic off to another RemOp as a matter of
principle.

How that? Unless he has the remailer's private key, all he can see are
encrypted messages.

Nobody said anything about reading message content, although with
enough third party remailer traffic passing through your mail exchange
it would certainly be possible to traffic analyze messages to the point
that the unencrypted text emerging from the remailer network could be
collated with encrypted ingress traffic. One might even devise a few
methods for adding certain "delay and burst" cycles to make the task
all the easier.

Once again I have no inclination to believe Steve would do any such
thing. Not without provocation anyway, or coercing from some
proverbial "big brother" type entity. But it's hard to fathom how one
wouldn't see this as a topic for discussion. On one hand you have the
security of a diverse and geographically separated network, and on the
other the notion that a "God" who sees all demolishes remailer network
security entirely.

It's a scale, not an either/or situation. There's no mathematical point
at which X number of shared messages crosses some boundary, and while
backup MX might be at the low end of the scale, it still registers.
It's another nugget of information in a game where accumulated nuggets
count more than massive boulders because there's so many nuggets and so
few boulders.

Just a little bit of info. It would let me see who was sending messages
to the dest I was acting as secondary for. The traffic would all be
encrypted but I could see the source of it. Mixmaster is designed to
protect against a global adversary who can monitor all points of the
network, so the significance of remops running secondary MX's for other
remops seems very small.

I can see where you're coming from but I don't think there is really a
risk involved. Traffic on the Internet is to all intents and purposes
public. In the good old days, all MTA's ran as open relays and would
route traffic anywhere for anyone. The encryption is there to protect
content in transit.

As long as it's not EELBASH or FROG.

Looks to me like Runaway's mail server has his mercury32 set to query sorbs
for all mail connections.. bad idea since sorbs hates dynamic addresses.
