I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed
information about remailer features and reliability.
To use it, just finger remailer-list at kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu
There is also a Web version of the same information, at:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html
This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP
encrypting client for outgoing mail, which is available at:
ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/cypherpunks/premail/premail-0.30.tar.gz
For the PGP public keys of the remailers, as well as some help on
how to use them, finger remailer.help.all at chaos.bsu.edu
This is the current info:
REMAILER LIST
This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first
part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration
options and special features for each of the remailers. The second
part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each
remailer. You can also get this list by fingering
remailer-list at kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu.

catalyst at netcom.com is _not_ a remailer.

Options and features
cpunk
A major class of remailers. Supports Request-Remailing-To:
field.
eric
A variant of the cpunk style. Uses Anon-Send-To: instead.
penet
The third class of remailers (at least for right now). Uses
X-Anon-To: in the header.
pgp
Remailer supports encryption with PGP. A period after the
keyword means that the short name, rather than the full email
address, should be used as the encryption key ID.
oldpgp
Remailer does not like messages encoded with MIT PGP 2.6. Other
versions of PGP, including 2.3a and 2.6ui, work fine.
hash
Supports ## pasting, so anything can be put into the headers of
outgoing messages.
ksub
Remailer always kills subject header, even in non-pgp mode.
nsub
Remailer always preserves subject header, even in pgp mode.
latent
Supports Matt Ghio's Latent-Time: option.
cut
Supports Matt Ghio's Cutmarks: option.
post
Post to Usenet using Post-To: or Anon-Post-To: header.
special
Accepts only pgp encrypted messages.
ek
Encrypt responses in relpy blocks using Encrypt-Key:
header.
