Do you want to set up a remailer? [y]

You can either compile your secret passphrase into the binary
or you can set it in your config file. Note that the former does not
really increase security as the passphrase can still be discovered by
running something like `strings mixmaster'.

Most users should answer `n' to this question:

Do you want to compile the passphrase into the binary? [n]
Please enter a passphrase for your remailer (it will be
stored in mix.cfg in clear).

   WARNING: Your version of OpenSSL has been configured without IDEA 
support.
   If you continue, Mixmaster will be installed with reduced 
functionality.
   This means (among other things) that Mixmaster will not create an RSA
   OpenPGP key (to avoid mail loss in the Type I system). You may want 
to
   re-install OpenSSL before proceeding.

   This will not concern you if you only plan to run a type II remailer 
or
   simply want a type II client.
Continue anyway? [y]
