A convenient way to send anonymous messages is with a form in an HTML document. However, many of these web-based remailers are not as secure as cypherpunks or mixmaster remailers. The best web remailers are just interfaces relying on existing cypherpunk and mixmaster remailers. Some may not use any remailers at all and only re-send your message (possibly even sending your connecting IP address as well).

The following web based remailers allow you to send email anonymously, and often give you the ability to choose the remailers you would like to use.

Make sure that you use a secure connection to compose and send this message. Unless you take precautions your message and the final recipient will be sent unencrypted to the WWW server used, so anyone listening in on your connection to the server knows who and what you are mailing. To stop this you should make sure your web browser has 128 bit SSL Encryption and connect to one of the web remailers that uses SSL Encryption.

Further security measures in this regard include: encrypting your connection with ssh and your email with PGP; not sending email from your computer at home or work; and, connecting via a web proxy.

Depending on the level of security that you require, you may also want to use a remailer hosted in another country, use several remailers to ensure that your email can't be traced (an option on the first of the recommended remailers), and send several copies of the message via different routes (to make sure that the message reaches its destination.
