smtp2mix is a software that consists of two mail proxies designed to relay incoming emails to an anonymous remailer network securely. It is a small, efficient tool that enables users to protect their privacy and maintains the anonymity of the sender.
If you're looking for a small and convenient mail proxy that allows you to send email anonymously while still using your preferred email client, smtp2mix might be a good option for you. This tool relays incoming email from a user to the mixmaster anonymous remailer network, making it possible to send mail without revealing your true identity.
To use smtp2mix, you'll need to have a few things in place. First, you'll need the mixmaster binary as well as the "Net::SMTP::Server" and "Mail::Internet" perl modules. For Debian users, installing these components is as simple as running the command: # apt-get install mixmaster libnet-smtp-server-perl libmailtools-perl. For all other distributions, you can download mixmaster and install the perl modules via CPAN.
Once you have everything set up, installation is straightforward. Simply become root and copy the smtp2mix script to "/usr/local/bin" or wherever you prefer. You can also run it directly from the src directory if you prefer.
Using smtp2mix is also quite simple. To start the proxy, navigate to the src directory and type the command: > perl smtp2mix.pl. You can then send anonymized email using your preferred email client. When you're done, simply kill the process using "< CTRL > C" or by closing the console window. If you'd like to start the daemon automatically, you can create a desktop shortcut or use the autostart function of your favorite desktop.
One important thing to note is that running smtp2mix opens the smtp port all the time, so it's crucial to protect it using reasonable firewall rules. If you'd like to change the smtp port, it's possible to do so using the -p option.
Overall, smtp2mix is a reliable and straightforward tool for sending anonymized email. The recent addition of a Gentoo start script only adds to its appeal.
