Mixmaster

Description

Mixmaster is the type II remailer protocol and the most popular implementation of it.

Remailers provide protection against traffic analysis and allow sending email anonymously or pseudonymously. Mixmaster consists of both client and server installations and is designed to run on several operation systems including but not limited to *BSD, Linux and Microsoft Windows.

The current 3.0.x versions are stable and widely deployed.

To download Mixmaster visit Sourceforge's download center. Packages for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution can be found in the testing and unstable distributions on a mirror near you. Also see http://packages.debian.org/mixmaster.

For pingers and other remailer implementations see related Software.
