anonymous remailer

An organization that forwards e-mail anonymously stripping out the sender's name and e-mail address. Remailers are used by people that wish to express an opinion to newsgroups or to individuals without fear of excessive responses or retaliation. It is the same as dropping a letter in the post office without a return address. See Anonymizer.

Remailers strip identifying information from the e-mail header and erase any transactional data from servers that would enable law enforcement to trace the message back to the author.
Some remailers are also consolidators; some consolidators serve as general mail houses--doing inserting, labeling, and printing.
