The new service I hope to offer will be more reliable. The darn constant
updates to Windows that requires a reboot or to the firewall security center
requiring a reboot means I might lose mail.
I wouldn't worry about that. All sending SMTP servers should retry on a
failed connection, so at most the mail would be delayed. Plus, a reboot
shouldn't take more than a minute or so anyhow.
True, but I got carried away with the instructions set forth by R Process.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depends on how you look at it, I set it up so
that only I can restart it. I didn't follow all of his suggestions for
security, (shorter latency) but most. Everything is heavily password
protected.
On a reboot, only I can restart it. Problems come in because I use a USB KVM
switch to switch between the primary computer and the server. When a reboot of
the server is required, it plays heck with the USB KVN switch. Don't know why,
but it doesn't want to let me access the server. I have to plug in a spare
keyboard and mouse and switch the flat panel manually. Do a reboot, shut
everything down and do a total restart. A real P in the neck.
I have to travel with my work. So I can be out of town for a few days. I set
all the updates to wait until I return and manually install them. Still, it
seems to me, if I shut down Mercury for just a few minutes, I lose mail.
The retry swchedules for most SMTP servers lasts for a week!
I never use a keyboard/mouse/screen on my server. Use VNC (over
an SSH tunnel if you must have the best security).

It is simple: with Frog retiring, there are only 2, possibly 3, adult
remailer operators left. I decided to do my bit for a responsible and
adult remailer system by running Bushwa.
In addition to *this* arrogance, remember he also publicly campaigned for
the delisting of Austria and Dizum. He also told us that because of his
breeding, he was superior to the rest of us.
Yes, those actually were his reasons.
This all came after his failed attempt to institute hate-speech filters and
his "editing" of his users posts. This "superior champion of privacy" used
to read and edit users posts to make sure they met his criteria for
political correctness.
Then came his admission that he was unaware that mixmaster was a server as
well as a client, and that he had no clue what a "partitioning attack" was,
despite having run a remailer for "...over 15 years"
(a blatant,bald-faced LIE).
So his remailer was cut off from the rest of the network, become the one
and only remailer in the history of the network to receive a Remailer Death
Penalty, or RDP. Shortly thereafter, he tried to sneak back in as "Bushwa".
He was busted. Then he came back with "greatwall", despite the fact that
remailer names are supposed to observe an 8 character limit.
So now he is back again, as Asmodeus, although he is still crippled by only
being listed by 8 remailers, and 2 pingers.
His "career" as a remop is studded with examples like the ones above.
If you can find them, you can check out posts about his monitoring
and filtering behavior on past remailers he has run.
The ones we know about are:
eelbash
axloltl
axolotl2
cheshire
congo
bog
bogg
eelbash (again)
bushwa
greatwall
asmodeus

Last time it took 10 days between announcing his triumphant return,
and having to close down for ADMITTING that he was reading
people's posts and emails AGAIN.
