Hi,

Using mixmaster for the first time, v204b6. I've got as far as trying
to send my message e.g. have selected remailers and everything, and in
the instructions it says that to send the message I must type in (EOF
is ^D) once I've finished typing my message. But once I type in ^D, or
EOF is ^D and then press return, nothing happens.

Any info?

THx.

BTW, there are the instructions I'm following:

type2.list file. If there is already a line with the  same
remailer name, the new line should replace it.

The  remailer key is every thing between the Begin Mix Key
and End Mix Key, including those  lines.  You  should  add
that  text  to your pubring.mix file. You may also include
any text outside of the begin and end  lines  to  identify
the key.

When  you  chain through a remailer, Mixmaster finds which
key to use by looking at type2.list, and  then  finds  the
corresponding key in pubring.mix.

Using type 2 remailers:
The  trend  towards ever more complicated remailer message
formats has been clear for  some  time.  Several  programs
have  been  written  to automatically build messages which
will be remailed by several  remailers.  This  process  is
called chaining.

With  type  2 remailers it is no longer possible to create
these messages by hand.  Mixmaster  takes  a  message  you
wish to send, a list of remailers to chain it through, and
a final destination,  and  builds  the  packet  which  the
remailers will use.

Interactive use of Mixmaster:
If  you  run  Mixmaster  with  no  arguments,  you will be
prompted for all the required information.

First you will be asked to specify the  final  destination
of the message.  This is the full e-mail address where you
want your message delivered.  Remember that the message is
being  sent by the last remailer in the chain, so you must
specify    the     full     internet     address     (e.g.
name@machine.place.com),   you  may  not  use  local  mail
aliases. You may enter  multiple  recipients  on  separate
lines.  Hit return on a blank line to stop entering desti-
nations.  You must have at least one.

Mixmaster recognizes these special keywords ending with  a
colon:
null: for cover traffic.
post: posts to the following newsgroup.

Next  you  will  be asked to enter any headers you want to
have inserted before the message. These are those lines at
the    beginning    of   e-mail   messages,   like   From:
fred@bedrock.univ.edu, or Subject: Party  invitation.   If
you  want your message to have a subject when it is deliv-
ered, you must enter a line like this:

Subject: your subject here.




Mixmaster Version 2.0.4                    2





MIXMASTER(1)                                         MIXMASTER(1)


Note that Subject must be  capitalized,  with  the  :  and
space  as  shown.  (A  subject header can also be added by
using the -s command line argument.)  When  you  are  done
entering  headers, hit return. It is OK to have zero head-
ers.

You will now be presented with a list of remailers through
which  you can chain your messages. The order in which you
choose them is the order in which they will  be  traversed
by your message. The remailers that can be used at the end
of a chain are marked with an asterisk;  a  U  means  that
according  to the list of reliable remailers, the remailer
is unreliable at the moment. See  the  file  mix.list  for
information  about  the  reliability  history  printed  in
square brackets.

You may choose up to 20 remailers, but remember  that  the
reliability  and speed of the chain diminish as the number
of remailers in the chain increases. Four is a  reasonable
number  of  remailers  to  use.  It is fine to use a given
remailer more than once in your chain. Press return  on  a
blank line to stop entering remailers.

You may enter 0 for the remailer and Mixmaster will choose
a random remailer for you. This is particularly useful for
routing   multipacket  messages  over  different  remailer
chains. If specified in the configuration file,  Mixmaster
can automatically select a remailer chain.

Finally you will be asked what file you want to send. This
must be an ASCII file. You may either enter the name of an
existing  file,  or  you  may  choose to enter the message
directly by typing - or stdin as the file  name.  This  is
intended for use by scripts. There are no editing capabil-
ities when using stdin. Enter the end  of  file  character
(EOF is ^D) when you are done entering the file.

Mixmaster  will  now build the type 2 remailer packet, and
send it to the first remailer in the chain.

List of statistics on remailer usage can be  requested  by
sending the remailers mail with subject remailer-stats.

-X     Seed  the  random number generator.  This should be
done once, before  sending  messages  and  creating
remailer keys.

Hell, I thought ^Z was EOF.

That doesn't work for me either. Basically, ^D as EOF doesn't work
when I hit return, nor does what you suggested. Could I have made a
mistake earlier on in the process that is causing this? Any ideas?

Thanx,

That should work on windows. btw, you had better use 2.0.4b46. That
version has a pretty serious security fix in it.

Remop Zax from bananasplit is working on a windows port for the latest
mixmaster release candidate. You might want to use that in the
(hopefully) near future.

Thanks for the info. But now when I type in the EOF command I get the
message "suspended" and then nothing else happens. Did I make an error
earlier on in the process? Sorry I'm new to this

Are you really using Windows? I was assuming that you were using a
real^H^H^H^H linux or bsd operating system. In the latter case, you
are editing the message in an editor such as vi or nano. You can read
the documentation about such editors. In "vi", you edit by entering
"i" (insert) and type the Esc key to stop. Then typing ":" gets you to
the command line. "w" writes the file to disk, "q" quits. Adding a "!"
(for example ":q!") forces the command (such as quitting without
saving changes).

If you are not using "vi", I apologize. It looked like some other
poster also had problems editing/sending messages, so I took the
liberty to write this...
