Someone wants to be able to post to my e-mail discussion list
anonymously. Lives literally depend on this person being able
to keep his/her identity anonymous when posting. I know the
lowest-tech answer would simply be for this person to send
posts via me and then for me to strip identifying information
(headers etc.) before forwarding to the list. But given how
much is at risk if I were to ever make a stupid
human error by hitting the wrong button or something, as you
can imagine I want to eliminate human error from the process
as much as possible. I know nothing can be 100 percent fool-proof,
but I want something as close to it as possible.
What are the various options open to us? What anon remailers
are out there, how do they work, how reliable are they, etc.?
I'm interested both in learning about the technical side of things
and also in hearing from other list-managers who need to deal
with extreme confidentiality on their lists for life-and-death
reasons. This can be for any reason (e.g., lists for survivors of
domestic violence or childhood abuse, etc.), but especially
ones with international scope (oppressive governments, etc.)
Are there any other implications I need to keep in mind that go
beyond purely technical aspects of this situation? I want to make
sure I don't overlook anything.
Thanks in advance to everyone who is able to offer any assistance,
information, or feedback.
