[Remops] cripto and paranoia

[Remailer Admin]

Finally I can send some news about what's happened to cripto and paranoia,
since I manage both remailers.

About cripto, I think you already knows what's happened,
the server that was a VM  hosted on riseup was seized by FBI 
https://help.riseup.net/it/seizure-2012-april

the ecn.org server should come back tomorrow, after having
recovered from a backup.
At the moment the remailer will not come back, at least not as
exit, there's a discussion about it.

about paranoia, unfortunately it goes down friday,
with OOM errors in the console.
It was not so strange because it suffered for high load lately.
It took 3 days to have it restarted (it has been restarted 1h ago). 
today we bought another VM because we had no feedback to our
reboot requests and we were ready to move the remailer,
starting to think to another seize, that would be anyway
strange because the remailer is behind a vpn,
and hosted in another country (not USA), so it needs the collaboration
of 2 different foreign countries to the FBI to have it seized.

remailer-admin at ecn.org has never received a request for logs
about the bomb-threat in pittsburgh, the FBI went directly 
to riseup/mayfirst.

remailer-admin at remailer.paranoici.org has received a request
for logs by mail, I replied in the standard way (we keep anonymized 
log for 48h, so totally useless), and another mail,
still asking for logs, which says that 
some remailers do have server logs and have been very helpful to stop 
the abuse of their servers.
So I suppose that some other remailers have been contacted by
the FBI or local police.

In my opinion they are under pressure, dozens of building evacuations
in the university campus in the latest weeks, they need to have something,
cripto seizure was something to give to the press,  but if the
threats will continue, things could change.

It seems, seeing the messages reported to me, that all messages have 
"Bombs" as subject, I'm looking for a way to have a post-queue 
filter in postfix to intercept those messages, as dest blocking 
is not working because messages are sent to several addresses.
