>               The anon.penet.fi Anonymous Server
>               ==================================
> 
> Yes, another anonymous server. Why?  Well, several well-known servers have
> bitten the dust recently. And most of them have served only a very limited
> subset of newsgroups, and mail only to "registered", anonymous users. One
> quite successful attempt at solving this problem was the server running at
> godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu, written and operated by Karl Kleinpaste
> <Karl_Kleinpaste@cs.cmu.edu>. Karl's software has been posted to alt.sources.
> 
> Due to reasons too complicated to mention here I wanted to set up an
> anonymous server for the scandinavian user community. I contacted Karl, and
> got a pre-release copy of his software. As the version I got relied heavily
> on the advanced features of MMDFII, I had to modify it quite a bit. While
> hacking around, I removed the restriction of only supporting selected
> newsgroups. Within a week of startup, the server had been discovered by
> transatlantic users, and more recent stats show european users are definitely
> a minority.
> 
> So what does the anon server really do? Well, it provides a front for
> sending mail messages and posting news items anonymously. As you send your
> very first message to the server, it automatically allocates you an id of
> the form anNNN, and sends you a message containing the allocated id. This id
> is used in all your subsequent anon posts/mails. Any mail messages sent to
> your-id@anon.penet.fi gets redirected to your original, real address. Any
> reply is of course anonymized in the same way, so the server provides a
> double-blind. You will not know the true identity of any user, unless she
> chooses to reveal her identity explicitly.
> 
> In the anonymization process all headers indicating the true originator are
> removed, and an attempt is made to remove any automatically-included
> signatures, by looking for a line starting with two dashes (--), and zapping
> everything from there on. But if your signature starts with anything else,
> it's your own responsibility to remove it from your messages.
> 
> There are two basic ways to use the system. The easiest way is by sending a
> message to recipient@anon.penet.fi:
> 
> 	To: alt.sex.bestiality@anon.penet.fi
> 
> 	To: an9999@anon.penet.fi
> 
> 	To: help@anon.penet.fi
> 
> Of course, in the case of mailing to a known user, you have to use addresses of
> the form user%host.domain@anon.penet.fi, or the pretty obscure source addressing
> construct of @anon.penet.fi:user@host.domain. These constructs are not
> necessarily handled properly by all mail systems, so I strongly recommend the
> "X-Anon-To:" approach in these cases. This works by you sending a message to
> "anon@anon.penet.fi", including a X-Anon-To: header line containing the desired
> recipient. But this really has to be a field in the message header, before the
> first empty line in the message. So:
> 
> 	To: anon@anon.penet.fi
> 	X-Anon-To: alt.sex.needlework,rec.masturbation
> 
> 	To: anon@anon.penet.fi
> 	X-Anon-To: jack@host.bar.edu
> 
> Valid recipients in both cases are fully qualified user addresses in RFC-822
> format (user@host.domain), anon user id's (anNNN), newsgroup names
> (alt.sex.paperclips) or one of the "special" user names of ping, nick, help,
> admin and stat.
> 
> Sending to "ping" causes a short reply to be sent confirming (and
> allocating, if needed) your anon id. "nick" takes the contents of the
> Subject: header and installs it as your nickname. If you have a nickname, it
> appears in the From: header in the anonymized message along with your anon
> id. "help" returns this text, and stat gives some statistics about the
> system. Mail to "admin" goes directly to me unanonymized, and can be used to
> report problems. If you want to send mail to me anonymously, you can use
> "an0".
> 
> When crossposting to several newsgroups, you can list several newsgroups
> separated by commas (no whitespace) as recipients, but this only works using
> the X-Anon-To: header. References: headers do work, so they can (and should)
> be used to maintain reply threads.
> 
> Ah yes, please remember that the posting takes place at my local site, so you
> can only post to groups that are received at penet.fi. I get all "worldwide"
> groups, but various exotic local groups don't make it here. I have gotten
> a couple of comments about permitting anonymous postings to technical groups.
> I can only answer that I believe very firmly that it's not for me to dictate
> how other people ought to behave. Somebody might have a valid reason for
> posting anonymously to a group I might consider "technical". But remember
> anonymous postings are a privilege, and use them accordingly. I believe adult
> human beings can behave responsibly. Please don't let me down.
