Secure relay capability has been added to the Phantom Remailer. This feature allows a masquerading user to send messages through the remailer without needing to use a login and password. This is achieved through the use of a secret token that is known to the users of the remailer (if you choose to share it). This feature is described in the associated Github issue: https://github.com/DerPhantomCoder/remailer/issues/2
In the future I will probably add per-alias tokens so there isn’t a shared token for everyone, but for now there is a single token defined in the configuration file.
This relay feature allows you to address new emails through the remailer by sending a message to an address such as:
user+automobile.president_at_whitehouse_dot_gov@example.comThe above example assumes the secret token is automobile and uses a simple encoding scheme to embed the recipient address within the To address. You could write the above address like this also:
user+automobile.president=40whitehouse=2Egov@example.comThe =40 and =2E are quoted printable encoding of the @ and . characters.
Full details about the relay capability are documented in the README: https://github.com/DerPhantomCoder/remailer/blob/main/README.md
