Hi I'm thinking about running a mixminion node. There are a few questions: 1. Is there a kind of "generic" delivery mechanism, that just outputs the message as it is decrypted by the last node in the chain and either saves it to a file or (better) feeds it to a process (like INNs channel feeds)? If not, do you intend to implement something like this? The reason is just, that it would be a simple and generic way to connect applications like mixminion2news-gateways or own SMTP-delivery-agents with Mixminion. Then one could implement and test those strictly separated from the "anonymity core" which Mixminion provides. For example I'm thinking about a kind of "anonymous identity" using Hashcash (just a wild thought, not something that I've really thought through already), so that net abuse can be stopped and getting a new "identity" isn't too easy, while still preserving anonymity. Or just to circumvent Mixminion's SMTP-Delivery decisions (like a very limited AllowFromAddress) and do it differently. 2. I've installed Mixminion 0.0.8alpha2. What do I do next? Publish the server to the directory? Or are there any recommended testing procedures? Probably I just want it to be a middleman for the time being. That means disabling mbox and SMTP delivery, right? 3. Might sound stupid, but at first I made a mistake when setting MaxBandwidthSpike, because I just assumed Mixminion to follow Tor's token-bucket-model. Is there a reason for using one over the other (that is specifying a bucket in byte vs. specifying a maximum bandwidth in byte/s)? Greetings Thomas
