- Subject: APAS Anonymous Remailer Use [FAQ 1/8]: Overview
-
- This is the first of eight parts of a list of frequently-asked
- questions (FAQ) and their answers regarding anonymous remailer use.
- The newsgroup containing the most discussion of anonymous remailers is
- <alt.privacy.anon-server> (APAS). Consequently, this FAQ is the "APAS
- FAQ for Remailer Users," or the APAS user FAQ.
-
- Champerty wrote the original APAS user FAQ with the help of Stray Cat.
- Thanks also go out to Thomas Boschloo, Michael T. Shinn, Lord Running
- Clam, and all the regulars in APAS. Computer Cryptology (CC) now
- maintains the FAQ, using CVS to track changes since Champerty's
- leaving. CC thanks Frog-Admin for review of changes to part 5;
- Redbird for FAQ 4.8; Ahab, Saddle, and Doc.Cypher for FAQ 7.3; and
- Boris 'pi' Piwinger, Stefan Wagner (Narnia Admin) and Jochen
