If you can see <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the "FROM:" field in the
headers, the e-mail did NOT go through an anonymous remailer.
Anonymous.to sends all mail through Type-1 cypherpunks remailer,
which strips all headers from the e-mail.
In addition, there's no remailer at the current time named Mellow
Yellow, although that might be good name for one.
If the e-mail is abusive or illegal, you should contact the technical
coordinator for BigMailBox.com, at:
bigmailbox, dnsadmin (DBG332)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
BigMailBox.com
1200 West Seventh St Suite L1-100
Los Angeles, CA 90017
800-468-8915 (FAX) 213-596-0037
Be sure to include a copy of the e-mail, INCLUDING ALL HEADERS.
If the e-mail was a threat, you should also contact your local law
enforcement agency.
