Source: echolot Section: mail Priority: extra Maintainer: Peter Palfrader Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>= 4.1.16) Standards-Version: 3.6.1 Package: echolot Architecture: all Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, gnupg (>= 1.0.7), postfix | mail-transport-agent, mixmaster, libdigest-md5-perl, libhtml-template-perl, libgnupg-interface-perl (>= 0.33) Description: Pinger for anonymous remailers such as Mixmaster A Pinger in the context of anonymous remailers is a program that regularly sends messages through remailers to determine their status. Based on the responses, the Pinger calculates reliability statistics which may be used by remailer clients to choose a chain of remailers to use. . Furthermore, Echolot collects configuration parameters and keys of remailers and offers the collected information in a format readable by remailer clients. This helps reduce the administration effort required to use or host remailers.
