Okay, I've done the same. :) Let me know if the discussion moves there,
it's a list I don't follow.

Yes, having had a nym account flooded I'd be interested in seeing the
filtering and control capabilities upped on the server side. Even just
being able to bounce mail containing 2 or 3 html tags would cut out 90% of
the spam I get through my nyms.

Of course, the flood I got would have been impossible to filter. Each
message had been separately encrypted to my key before sending.

Well, I'm not sure how other people would expect it to work, but I'd expect
a remailer-conf to return the information on the back-end remailer.

A nym server is a rather different animal, if it's going to end up with a
few more addresses returning information it might be worth looking at the
names of all of them and seeing if you can impose some sort of logic or
order.

ATM I see the following obvious defaults on Alex's test nymserver...

abuse, admin, config, confirm, help, list, nobody, postmaster,
remailer-key, root, send, source, used.

n.a.n. also has a help-html which is where I got my copy of the nym help
web page. IIRC, there's also a few non-english versions of the help page
loose on the web. help-de, help-nl, and help-fr might be useful additions,
although it is going to bulk up the package size.
