[Mixmaster-users] How to build Mixmaster on Mac OS X

[Sylvia G. <sg...@me...>]

Hello.

Can anyone, please, walk a newbie through installing Mixmaster on Mac OS
X?

I'm trying to build Mixmaster 3.0 on an Apple computer running Mac OS X
10.8.4 (Snow Leopard). I have unpacked the tarball and launched the
compiler ('./Install' in Terminal).

Unfortunately, the compilation stops after a couple of dialogues with
this message:

    'Looking for libz.a...
     Not found.'

Having read the README, I think libz.a is a part of the zlib software
library and is a vital component that must be installed before trying
Mixmaster. But zlib is already installed on my machine because it comes
standard with Mac OS X. At least the operating system has a man page for
it. Then why does my installation abort?

In general, is Mixmaster compatible with Mac OS X?

Regards,

Sylvia

[Mixmaster-users] wget and stats

[<aut...@hu...>]

I have Mixmaster 3.0.2 installed on a Windows OS and it works just
fine. There is, however, one issue that I would like to see about
resolving. My question is relevant to Mixmaster installed on Linux
too, and I have both configurations. The thing I would like to fix
relates to the kind of connections it is able to make. I can get it
configured to connect directly to stunnel and then to socat and then
to tor, whenever it is posting email or news to the remailer network.
But I have not been able to make it use any kind of encrypted
connection when it updates stats or the alpingers file, and I have not
gotten it to use wget directly for updating these stats. I can
download stats with it but only on port 80 and not through an
encrypted connection, at least none that I have found.

	Also, in reading one of the guides, and there are a few of them
floating around, I am led to believe that wget could be used in the
configuration file like so:

	wget 

	When I tried this, nothing happened with wget. I am under the
impression, based on my experience in other cases, that I could
actually make wget utilize an encrypted connection if I could get it
to work with Mixmaster. I do use wget in this way without Mixmaster.
If anyone has more information about either of these procedures, I
would appreciate hearing about it or getting some pointers from you.
Thanks.

[Mixmaster-users] Regarding "spamexpire"

[Jeff B. <rou...@gm...>]

 

1. I sent a test message to myself (via mixmaster) recently.

 

The next day, the message arrived with this header:

 

            Fritz Wuehler
<fr...@sp...>

 

I was shocked because I thought, "My messages are being treated as spam".

 

After some research, I discovered this table:

 

Default From: Headers

The default From headers of all remailers when sending e-mail. Middleman
remailers are not listed here.

[Mixmaster-users] Changing mixmaster keys

[Sean <se...@ne...>]

Hi,

What is the correct procedure for changing Mixmaster keys on a remailer?
And making sure the old one still works?

The FAQ section on this is empty...

Cheers,
Sean

Unfortunatly it seems that somethig is filtering out port
 25, so you are out of luck sending any mail from your
 pc, not only from mixmaster.

It is not a mixmaster or postfix-related issue;
 probably your provider is filtering it (or maybe
 your local router, if any)

Normally this kind of provider allow to connect at only one
 server at port 25, i.e. the provider's own SMTP
If this is your case try to telnet to it, and if this works,
 use it as a relayhost for your postfix.

Your Postifix is unable to connect to other remailer's SMTP
Maybe your provider is filtering port 25?

pboxmix.winstonsmith.info[79.53.54.3]:25: Connection timed out)

So try this command

telnet pboxmix.winstonsmith.info 25

you should see something like

Trying 95.238.131.242...
Connected to pboxmix.winstonsmith.info.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 pboxlevel3.homelinux.net ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)

See if this will be your result and told me; after that send the file

/etc/postfix/main.cf

I wouldn't know where to start looking for configuration problems in
postfix, I've never had to work with that software.  if you can give me a
clue, I'll try to work it out, but at this point I don't know where to begin
looking.

Chances are that now mixmaster is really trying to send your
 messages, but postfix or the MTA you have installed
 is not configured

Go in /var/log and see the tail of mail.info, mail.error
  and mail.warning (or the mail log files if they are
 not named in this way)

Re: [Mixmaster-users] No luck using Mixmaster

[Gary W. <ga...@gm...>]

Tried again after running mixmaster-update, still no luck.  I forgot to say
Postfix was installed automatically too when I installed mixmaster, I did no
tweaking there either.  The mail doen't go to junkmail.  What are the
chances Gmail or the ISP trashes the mail?  Does this software actually work
for anybody?

Also I found this in /var/mail/user:

This is the mail system at host [hostname]

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

                   The mail system

<rem...@kr...>: connect to
    rooty.uni-boeblingen.de[212.95.32.155]:25: Connection timed out

The attached delivery report reads as follows:

Final-Recipient: rfc822; rem...@kr...
Action: failed
Status: 4.4.1
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; connect to
    rooty.uni-boeblingen.de[212.95.32.155]:25: Connection timed out

There are multiple such messages in that mail file.

I have no idea what it means.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you.

The configuration files are installed under /etc/mixmaster

There are more files under /home/user/.Mix

/etc/mixmaster/client.conf contains the following:

REMAIL        n
POOLSIZE    0
SENDPOOLTIME    0m
RATE        100

PGPREMPUBASC    /var/lib/mixmaster/used-stats/pubring.asc
PUBRING        /var/lib/mixmaster/used-stats/pubring.mix
TYPE1LIST    /var/lib/mixmaster/used-stats/rlist.txt
TYPE2REL    /var/lib/mixmaster/used-stats/mlist.txt
TYPE2LIST    /var/lib/mixmaster/used-stats/type2.list

There are "filter", "update" and "network.conf" files there too.

The keyrings are under /home/user/.gnupg and there are two keys per server.

Everything works as expected, except that the mails are obviously not being
sent, or not being sent correctly.  I did a standard install of both the
distro and of mixmaster, no interactive questions were asked when the
install took place and no input given or other tweaking done by me.  This is
just as it installs from the repositories.

Is this enough detail?

Thanks for the help.

If they are being sent to you, then check the spam folder, either on
your computer or online.

It really depends on any of the receiving ISP's as to whether it gets
delivered.

My experience, last year, was hit or miss as well

I have a standard kubuntu v9.1 installation with a standard mixmaster

Thank you for your answer, Colin.

I did compile mixmaster from the tarball and installed it in $HOME/Mix,
thus I have not a global mix.cfg.

[Mixmaster-users] [SOLVED] Re: encryption

[Alexandros D. <ml-...@al...>]

Hello!

Thank you, William, for your answer. After some hours of experiments, I
came to the result that defining the public and secret key from the
configuration file simply _does not work_. Maybe it's a bug. But if I
start mixmaster from the command line, "overriding" the respective
variables (mixmaster --PGPPUBRING=~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
--PGPSECRING=~/.gnupg/secring.gpg), then everything works ok, the
encryption is done and the mail is sent.

I must say that in the case that there are more than one keys that
correspond to the same email address in the public key ring, then
mixmaster does not ask which key should be used, and uses automatically
the first address (that comes in the list of "gpg --list-keys").

Best Regards

Alexandros

[Mixmaster-users] encryption

[Alexandros D. <ml-...@al...>]

Hello!

I have installed mixmaster 3.0 as a client on Linux and I can send
mails, yet not encrypted. In my mix.cfg file I have the lines

PGPPUBRING      /home/myhome/.gnupg/pubring.gpg   
PGPSECRING      /home/myhome/.gnupg/secring.gpg

Then I start the mixmaster, I write a message, I press "y" for
encryption and after hitting "m" to send it to the pool I get the
message:

Notice: Key <ema...@do...> not found!

I would be grateful for any help.

Best Regards

[Mixmaster-users] Mixmaster 3.0 released

[Len S. <ra...@ab...>]

Dear all,

[Apologies if you get multiple copies of this email.]

Mixmaster 3.0 has been released this week. This is the first major version
release since 2.9, and a continuation of that code, though it incorporates
numerous improvements, feature enhancements, and bug-fixes. It is
recommended that you upgrade your remailers to this version.

For those of you running 3.0rc1 or one of the 3.0 beta releases, the
changes are minor, though upgrading is still recommended.

Please report any problems you experience to the Mixmaster maintainers
through the bug tracker at SourceForge. (http://sf.net/projects/mixmaster).

The code can be found there as well, and is signed by the Mixmaster 3.x
release key, found on http://mixmaster.sf.net and signed by myself and
numerous other cypherpunks. Any questions regarding tampering with the
source code should be reported as soon as noticed.

There are some user-facing improvements as well, though most of the
planned client improvements have been pushed off to 3.1. For stability
reasons, users of the client are encouraged to upgrade as well. (Users of
third-party GUIs for Mixmaster are encouraged to report their success or
problems with detailed bug reports if applicable.)

We're looking forward to your feedback!


Best regards, on behalf of the Mixmaster Development Team:

I've never done anything on an OS X platform but the source for
mixmaster is platform independent. You should just need to install the
developement tools and compile it.

I think you hit it!  Looks as if mixmaster breaks attachments up into 
chunks of about 10KB each and sends each bit to a different chain of 
remailers.  Note that the final step is the same for all of the ones 
above, since that's presumably where it's reassembled.

If I try with a single 4K file, I only see one chain announced.  The 
attempt described in my previous message was a 70K file, thus the (7) 
chunks.

Why none of them are getting through is still a puzzle, though.

I have not been able to duplicate this using the same commands you are
with Mixmaster 3.0b2. I don't normally use mixmaster on the command
line but with Mutt. The only thing that I can think of is the size of
your attachment. I'm not positive how mixmaster reacts to attachments
but could it be breaking it up into multiple parts. Then perhapse the
remailer network is rejecting them because of size. This is just a
guess.

Are you saying that you don't see a message in the form:

george,panta,bigapple,george
starwars,itys,frell,george
aarg,cf,metacolo,george
freedom,starwars,lemuria,george

when you invoke it?  Very strange.  I even downloaded and built a 
backlevel version (2.9.0) - same thing.  No matter what I do it sends one 
copy to every chain (i.e. in the example above it took it upon itself to 
mail (7) copies of the message.

Which would be fine, except none arrive at the destination address - 0% 
reliability.

If I don't attempt to attach anything it works correctly, announcing a 
single chain and ultimately delivering the message.

What version are folks using?  This is very frustrating.
