This is great news! A couple of feature requests:

1. Forward secrecy. Maybe copy some ideas from Mixminion: link
encryption and periodic rotation of mix keys.

2. Make it useful for sender-recipient unlinkability as well as sender
anonymity. There are a few people who want to send email anonymously,
but there are many more people who want to send email privately to
recipients who know them. A remailer network that prevents metadata
eavesdropping would be useful to far more people - and would therefore
have a larger anonymity set - than a network that's mainly useful for
whisteblowing and bomb hoaxes.

Cheers,
Michael
