I think you've misunderstood the use of the word "hackers" in the context of 
this mailing list. We have no interest in breaking into 3l337 w4R3z!! sites. 
Nor do we need to blackmail anybody. Most of us have no need to conceal our 
identities (although some still do - that's their choice). In short, we're 
Unix hackers. Not security hackers. Even so, being a helpful sod, I'll give 
you a pointer. *a - geddit??!?! Oh... 

The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to chain re-mailers. Go 
and do some research on anonymous re-mailers. The FAQs and manuals are full 
of lots of good info on how to chain. Most of them do the hard work for you.

As for a secure webmail host - http://www.hushmail.com has worked for me in 
the past. Quite good. 

Oh, and now you've made the decision to hide your identity and make it 
publically known, you know your phones will be tapped mail (snail and what I 
call "normal") will be intercepted, your grandmother will get copies of 
*those* pictures of you, and your life will now be a misery. And to make it 
worse, you've just taken advice on protecting your identity from an 
ex-civil-servant. Ho ho ho ho. We control the vertical. We control the 
horizontal. Just sit back and relax. Relax... relax... many miles to go 
before you sleep... 

The poster regrets correspondance on this matter is now closed.
