Default Simple advice about madmen

From another group - besieged by an anonymous madman:

[This would appear to suggest enabling the killfile/filter option.]
[However, it may have been truncated in the original posting ...]

==
Thank you for contacting the Abuse Complaint Administrator
of the Cypherpunks Tonga Remailer.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that you may have
experienced as a result of inappropriate use of this system by a
particular individual.

The purpose of this anonymous remailer is to permit individuals
including crime victims, domestic violence victims, persons in
recovery, and others, such as those living under oppressive regimes,
to communicate confidentially in a manner that ensures their privacy
under even the most adverse conditions. Unfortunately, there will
always be a very small percentage of individuals that choose to abuse
the anonymity that this and similar systems worldwide afford to
insult, harass, or send otherwise unwelcome email.

The operator of this remailer does not condone such messages, or their
content, in any way.

Just as the Post Office is unable to prevent abuse of the mail system
as long as there are public mailboxes into which a person can drop a
letter without including a return address, this remailer cannot
preemptively prevent irresponsible individuals from using this system
to send inappropriate messages. However, unlike the Post Office, this
remailer enables you to assure that you will not be inconvenienced by
users of this remailer in the future.

I believe, although I've only glanced at one of the remailer sites and the
software faqs or helpfile once over a year ago, that the whole point is
that they don't have return addresses - that each remailer in the chain
doesn't get return addresses either. I may be wrong. Can one reply?
I doubt it, though I haven't tried. Is untraceable the same as unreplyable?
Certainly the whole point is that it is untraceable. That there are good
reasons for such a service, I don't disagree. Papers are written on this.

: Same could be done in email and newgroups
: wouldnt take that much work to have a program verify sennders IP

I think antispam programs do something like this but I'm no expert.

I don't think anonymous remailer services would want to - defeats it.
