What's a remailer?
Anonymous remailers work by connecting to other anonymous remailers in a chain, and every one in that chain removes the mail header information making it impossible to find the real sender. The Tor project maintains a list of typical users of this and other anonymity systems, and the Mixmaster home page

How do I backup?
MFPL already backs up your data, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't also prepare your own backups.
We use a three-prong approach:
- All servers have redundant disks. If one disk fails, the server continues un-interrupted.
- We backup all servers nightly to an onsite backup server that keeps 5 days worth of data.
- We also backup all servers nightly to an off site backup server that overwrite the previous days backup every night.
Why members should backup their own data:
- Our backups are designed primarily for disaster recover (the entire machine goes down). We cannot provide file recovery for accidental deletions or other mistakes.
- No backup is fool proof. It's always a good idea for triple or quadruple redundancy.
- Only system administrators can restore data from a backup.

What do I do if I think my email, website, or other service has been interrupted?
It is perfectly understandable that the recent server seizure will put any user of our services on alert. But the steps we recommend for reporting a problem or regaining access to your services remains the same:
- Don't panic.
- Check the service advisory page. Any expected, routine, or other interruptions will be reported here.
- Open a support ticket. We receive immediate notice of any new support requests. In all cases, you can expect a response from us right away.
Which MFPL members have been affected by the seizure?
No MFPL members have been directly affected by the seizure. The seized server is managed by ECN and contained no MFPL member data, or Riseup data for that matter.
Can I expect my service to be interrupted by future seizures?
What does this mean for us as members of the MFPL network?
Political approach, standing against surveillance and repression
