Police seize records from anonymiser service

Is anybody at the least bit suprised about this? I would say no. Of course, anon email sites have logs. People can send very malicious emails from them, so its no wonder the site has logs to deflect any blame. I think the best way to send anon emails would be to go to an internet cafe and log on that way. Why on earth I would want to send an anon email though, I don't know.

And yes, sending anonymous email makes sense, even if you don't want to spam people or threaten people etc. It can help if you have to suffer under the opression of a state. Or let's say you know something about a politican and you want to let the press know about it, but you have
to fear someone could trace the mail back to you?

Point taken. Still there is a problem using anonymous emails as I personally know of 2 mail filters that will block anonymous emails. Its also a lot easier to hit the Del key and delete an email than it is to ignore a letter. I also think its a bit silly for people to expect perfect anonymity sitting at their home computer, connecting through their usual ISP, through a normal phoneline or broadband.

P.S Please don't think I'm being an obnoxious ar**ehole or anything even though it seems like it from my posts
