One can assume that with the proliferation of the information society, we
would witness the economies of demand creating anonymous remailers.
Julf's anon.penet.fi is only the most basic form of a double-blind
remailer, and suffers from several problems (most notably, the lack of
bandwidth and processsing power, plus the fact he's losing money on it.)
Cypherpunks have long advocated utilizing digital stamps that you would
affix to your messages to use remailers. You'd purchase (with real $$$)
stamps from the remailer operators and when you wanted to double-blind
something, you'd have to put a stamp in the document. (You can also mail
the digital stamps to other people so they can use the remailers, or you
could include a SASE, so to speak). I don't want to go into the
technical details on this list.
In SR-2055, one can assume that people ahve what would best be described
as P.O. Boxes. Messages for you go to the box and you could check them
at your leisure. A little fannagling, and you could easily establish an
alias of anonymous address and a double-blind messaging system.
