The BiKiKii Anonymous Remailer gives you the ability to access its mail server on the following alternate ports: 587 and 2525 INTRODUCTION Remailers are used to send anonymous email. To send mail, send a REMAIL REQUEST to the remailer using any standard email client. (If your client uses MIME, be sure MIME encoding is turned off, or your message may be discarded.) The message in your remail request will be sent anonymously to the address you specify. All original email headers are removed, and the origin of the message is unknown to the recipient. For greater ease and security, use a specialized remailer client to create your remail requests: http://www.bigfoot.com/~potatoware/ This remailer is running a modified version of Potato Software's Reliable v1.05 The following modifications have been made to produce "Reliable 1.05 BiKiKii" Desc: By: Details: REL003 Frog Admin Personnalized Stats Page. REL006 Frog Admin Fix a bug in weekly load as provided in remailer-stats. NP-003 Nuther-Planet Fix for double entries in generated stats. NP-004 Nuther-Planet Addition of "remailer-adminkey" function. NP-005 Nuther-Planet Change anonymous From address format. NP-006 Nuther-Planet Add NYM server (outbound path) pinging. SA_02 Senshi-Admin Fix for incorrect or non-standard Date headers. SA_03 Senshi-Admin If ping response date is prior to ping, use current time. http://bikikii-remailer.noneto.com/docs/modify/reliable-1.05-bikikii.html GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: REMAIL REQUEST: MIXMASTER This remailer supports Mixmaster [mix] (see remailer-conf). Mixmaster is a more secure message format. To create Mixmaster remail requests, you must use the Mixmaster client, available at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mixmaster/ If your operating system is a UNIX derivative, simply download and compile the client from the source code. Win32 users may wish to try Jack B. Nymble, a graphical user interface client implementing the mixmaster protocol. Jack B. Nymble is developed independently of the main Mixmaster distribution. You can obtain a copy of Jack B. Nymble from http://www.skuz.net/potatoware/jbn2/ and Mixmaster v2.04 binaries for Win32 (Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP) at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mixmaster/mix204b46.zip REMAIL REQUEST: CYPHERPUNK This remailer supports Cypherpunk [cpunk] (see remailer-conf). These may be easily created using any standard email client. The remail request is placed in the text part of your email message. The following shows an example of a Cypherpunk remail request: :: Anon-To: final@recipient.com This is the text of the message which will be sent anonymously to the final recipient. Be sure to include a blank line before the message text, as shown. This message is shown indented for clarity, but you should not indent your actual remail request. Insert your address in place of "final@recipient.com", and send the above message to this remailer. You will receive the message anonymously. IMPORTANT NOTE: This remailer is pgponly (see remailer-conf), it will not accept the above remail request. pgponly remailers require remail requests to be encrypted with PGP. (See instructions below). If you would like to add a subject header to the final anonymous message, use the following remail request format: :: Anon-To: final@recipient.com ## Subject: This is the subject of the message This is the text of the message which will be sent anonymously to the final recipient with the subject "This is the subject of the message". Any headers added in the hash ("##") section) will appear in the final message. REMAIL REQUEST: CYPHERPUNK NEWS POST This remailer supports Cypherpunk [cpunk] and news posting [post] (see remailer-conf) you can use the following remail request format to post anonymous messages to newsgroups: :: Anon-Post-To: alt.test ## Subject: This is the subject of the post This is the text of the message which will be posted anonymously to the newsgroup "alt.test". Be sure to include a subject when posting to newsgroups. IMPORTANT NOTE: This remailer is pgponly (see remailer-conf), it will not accept the above remail request. pgponly remailers require remail requests to be encrypted with PGP. (See instructions below). REMAIL REQUEST: CYPHERPUNK ENCRYPTED Any Cypherpunk remail request may be encrypted with PGP http://www.pgpi.com for greater security. As the message travels from your computer to the remailer, both the final recipient and the message text is not readable. To PGP encrypt your remail requests, you must first obtain the public PGP key for the remailer. To do so send a blank message with the subject: remailer-key Once this remailer's public key is installed on your keyring, create a remail request as shown in the previous sections. Save your remail request to a file, such as REMAIL.TXT. To encrypt the message, use the following PGP 2.6.x command format: pgp -eat REMAIL.TXT thisremailer@address.com That will produce the file REMAIL.ASC. This file is used to build the PGP-Encrypted remail request by adding three lines at the top. For example: :: Encrypted: PGP -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.2 hIkDPRWysueuweUBA+YhW2K6n2PPnFOcZulHzNNdeJ8OxHX5Aq3mbRKBlnogMjkD dr8wzb6yNk0QWxKyUSQUaoluaUKex/oEdXxXBCWLIXuKUebk/0DEL4oMYwPsjekD N/rFoHp3g4EGbS9mz42cTOeQXGljMG2E1NAdDp3mUqRZLmfkkoF2lMKbBFGW =2NpQ -----END PGP MESSAGE----- Send this PGP-Encrypted remail request to the remailer address. It will decrypt the message and process the remail request inside. REMAIL REQUEST: CYPHERPUNK CHAIN The following is a more advanced example of Cypherpunk remail requests: :: Anon-To: remailer2@address.com Latent-Time: +3:00 :: Anon-To: final@recipient.com ## Subject: This is the subject of the final message This is the text which would be sent anonymously to final@recipient.com. This example shows two remailers being used consecutively to deliver a message - what is a called a "remailer chain". You would mail the above remail request to remailer1@address.com (any Cypherpunk remailer). It would hold the message for a three hour delay (which improves security), and then mail the message in the request anonymously to remailer2@address.com. In this case, the message in the request is another remail request, which would instruct remailer2 to mail the message anonymously to final@recipient.com. Although it is not shown in this example for clarity, both remail requests could be PGP-encrypted which each remailer's public key for greater security and anonymity. In that case remailer1 would not be able to read the final recipient address or message. Also, remailer2 would not know the original sender of the message, because it received the remail request anonymously from remailer1. REMAILER RELIABILITY For various reasons, some remailers often experience more down-time than standard mail servers. Thus it is important to test if a remailer is working before using it. Due to their nature, remailers will not generally bounce messages. Unsent messages, due to server problems or invalid remail requests, will simply disappear. You may also consult remailer statistics web pages which display continuously updated tables of remailer reliability.
