 While the Type II system does not have any means of support for anonymous
 reply blocks, the Type III system introduces single-use reply blocks
 (SURBs)~\cite{surb} as a means of avoiding the replay attack issues.
-Mixminion requires the the recipient to create a large number of reply
-blocks to be used by those who wish to send her mail. In practice, this is
-likely to be automated by a nym server~\cite{pop-mix} which will handle
-the storage of SURBs and transfer of pseudonymous mail through the
-remailer network to the recipient. The technique used in Mixminion also
-has the property that the forward and reply messages share the same
-anonymity set, which is a significant security improvement over Type I.
-However, since reply blocks are still being used, the reliability issues
-remain.\footnote {If any given node in the pre-selected SURB is defunct at
-the time mail is set to be delivered, the mail will be lost.} Reply block
-systems are also susceptible to intersection
-attacks~\cite{disad-free-routes}. A global observer can collect data on
-who is sending and receiving mail, and given enough time and data, will be
-able to reliably determine who is talking to whom via statistical
-correlation~\cite{statistical-disclosure}.
