Hello Everyone!

Phase 1: We have opted not to modify Mixmaster at this point but we have 
elected to improve on how remailers inter-communicate. These 
modifications may be incorporated into our new release of Mixmaster.

1. Smelly, Ringo, and Neutron will be put into test mode. The first test 
is that these three remailers will be exchanging messages via 4096-bit 
keys. What does this buy us? The current remailer code will NOT require 
everyone to up update to a new client. Inter-remailer transactions will 
be handled with 4096-bit keys with submissions using the current 
clients.

2. Smelly, Ringo, and Neutron will additionally be tied together via 
persistent SSH connections. Instead of communication on port 25 the 
three remailers will communicate via SSH for additional security on 
ports that will not be published.

The lead engineer on this is myself with Cypher as the lead/senior 
programmer.

Please advise as to any thoughts or suggestions.
