How safe are remailers?
For most low-security tasks, such as responding to personal ads, using PSEUDO anonymous remailers with passcode protection is undoubtedly safer than using real e-mail addresses. But the person who runs your e-mail system might intercept your secret messages to and from the remailer. It’s possible that some intruders broke into the remailer (unbeknownst to the remailer’s administrator) and that they can read your messages at will. If you use a United States based remailer, a U.S. judge could subpoena the remailer’s records.
