I can see that there could be some legitimate uses for an anonymous
remailer. However, were there any "terms and conditions" etc, on
signing up? I can't quite imagine that one could set up a contract
murder, or sell kiddie porn or heroin through an anonymous remailer.
Granted, the harassment going on in here isn't as heinous as those
examples, but still, it's hard to believe that the business selling the
service would condone this kind of use.

Actually, there are anonymous remailers who do condone this kind of use,
inasmuch as they condone *all* uses. I remember someone complaining
about minor-league misuse a la DJM, and the remailer in that case (it
might have been dizum) was pretty cavalier about it. They're quite
content to let abuse go on, if it means that they can pin the free
speech badge on their self-serving shirts.
