Hi!

Marco, did you ever have success running mixmaster over Tor?

Tested with "SMTPRELAY snorky.mixmin.net" and "SMTPRELAY 188.40.76.149"
but unfortunately no mail arrived.

Can I somehow see what the result (log) of the communication with the
smtp server was?

Also tested with "SMTPRELAY zvrqjaxpgxglgjrz.onion" and the frell chain.

echo "test" | mixmaster --verbose --to=email at changed --subject="-"
--copies=1 --chain=frell

Thanks to the transparent proxy, I can reach zvrqjaxpgxglgjrz.onion with
wget, Firefox etc. without any additional need for torification. Since
the whole system is already torified, it should work out of the box.

Tried with frell as chain, but no mail arrived either.

Below is my /etc/mixmaster/remailer.conf.
