See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Summary: Nym servers have separate addresses for keys. [This text is the original FAQ entry updated with a summary of the thread with "Subject: Re: ... keys for <config@nym.xganon.com> ...?", particularly the post with Message-ID above.] The method used for remailers--sending an email message to the remailer address with "Subject: remailer-key"--won't work with the config and send addresses of nym servers. These addresses (e.g., <config@nym.xganon.com> or <config@mail.xganon.org>) will reject any plaintext message or any encrypted message that does not begin with "Config:" (cf <http://anon.xg.nu/nym_doc.html>). Each of the nym servers has a separate email address that responds to remailer-key requests. Send a blank email message to an address like this: <remailer-key@your.favorite.nymserver> The addresses used to check the keys on the CC site are as follows on the date of this FAQ: nym <remailer-key@nym.alias.net> redneck <remailer-key@redneck.gacracker.org> xgnym2 <remailer-key@nym.xganon.com> (Check <http://www.eskimo.com/~turing/remailer/keys/nym-key.lis> for changes.) Consider when choosing a nym server: <NYM.ALIAS.NET> hasn't changed it's nym key since 1996! Draw your own conclusions about whether this key might have been compromised since that time. <REDNECK.GACRACKER.ORG> uses it's own <remailer@gacracker.org> to send outgoing nym mail and that remailer is middle. N.A.N and <NYM.XGANON.COM> send through their respective local remailers, and both these are NOT middle.
