[Mixminion-it] Facciamo qualche cambiamento?

[Marco A. Calamari]

Buondi' a tutti

Rientro da qualche settimana passata in giro per lavoro
 (India e Qatar), ma nel frattempo avrei pensato ad
 una novita'.

Quando sono stato a Berlino al PET 2010 Nick mi ha
 tirato benevolmente le orecchie perche' abbiamo una lista privata 
 e non in inglese (e forse anche perche non abbiamo ancora prodotto
 niente ...)

Avevo meditanto un po la cosa pensando di proporvela, ed ecco
 che un contatto che e' arrivato come contatto tra remops ha
 dato risultati insperati.

Per farlo entrare in lista dovremmo pero' usare l'inglese,
 cosa che ci permetterebbe anche di pubblicizzare la lista.

Potrebbe essere un modo per raggiungere qualla massa critica
 che ancora non abbiamo, e fare ad esempio uscire il client
 mixminion od altre cose in tempi non biblici.

Che cosa ne dite? Vi allego il suo ultimo messaggio
 (non e' italiano).

Ciao a tutti.   Marco

Well, I don't have a really long experience but on January 2010 I
installed OpenBSD in a Soekris 5501 wanting to run a Tor relay
(isomorphisme, https://isomorphisme.net:334/mrtg/). After three months
of strange hangs and virtual memory errors I changed to Debian and it
has been running non-stop until now. With a limit of 200 kb/s bandwidth
it takes about 300 mb of ram and a bit less of 10% of the CPU which I
think is quite good for such little board..

Sure I'd like ! I've finished a test version to use it in Thunderbird,
which to be honest is not really the best way of implementing it. I
think that a good way to do it is to mimic the Enigmail way of executing
gnupg trough an external IPC library but using mixminion (and/or
torsocks/usewithtor scripts to interface optionally the tor network
first) and maybe some options to send more than 5 copies to assure the
mail will arrive. I didn't look yet how the IPC thing is done from the
add-on but I'll try to study it during the following days.

Which I got learning the Mozilla api is a simple add-on which reads the
e-mail fields and pass them to a bash script inside the extension which
is executed by the add-on, calling then mixminion and/or
torsocks/usewithtor first.

Maybe we can join forces/ideas !

See you,

Antonio.
