"Distance" is not a valid setting in YAMN.

My experience with YAMN has taught me that it doesn't behave well when
you try and hardcode your chains.

Just let it pick some randoms for you and it will. It will also pick an
exit for your last remailer, so you don't have to concern yourself with
that.

*,*,*,* is the chain that I would suggest you use.

Does Yamn like Mixmaster use a starex strategy to avoid chains of
remailers that are all run by a single entity or organization?

Nope.

But you can manually hardcode chains as long as you don't get
too stupid about it.

Chain: yamn3,inwtx,hal works, but sometimes you get the below
when you do. The post DOES go through.

mail.go:329: SMTP Connection Error: Server=127.0.0.1:3048,
Error=EOF
mail.go:258: SMTP relay failed
pool.go:76: Pool mailing failed: EOF

As the OP advised, *,*,*,* is good or *,*,*,yamn2 if you need
name support.

But by doing so you can't send multiple copies, which is important for a
reliable delivery.

Be honest, which of those YAMN remailers are in one hand?

Missing starex, as long as there's no strict one-remailer-per-operator
rule it's much too dangerous for me to participate in YAMN and get
compromised.

Quick questions for you.

Do you know if third parties are theoretically and technically able to append
long lifetime secret key files from each Mixmaster to one Mixmaster secret
key file, in case third parties would like to mount something like an eclipse
attack? Or why Zax invented short living YAMN keys (14 days)?

Own or take over a reputable pinger service and offer remailer
participants statistics and key files of a network topology completely
under your control. At first they're toast, some time later you are. ;)

That's an invention? Don't you think you're setting the bar a little
low, as with Mixmaster you also define key lifetime in days, not in
years.

I must admit I do not know which Remailers besides his inwtx one he also
runs, if any.

Another thing which I like to point out. We can combine message(s) sending
with YAMN, Mixmaster and also Bitmessage. Nym is currently not (yet)
an option for such tasks (wish I was a Golang programmer, like Zax is ...)

Then there would be another question from me. Why not all Mixmaster Remops
gave YAMN a try, to increase the YAMN Network, or in case they had doubts, did
not say so, or what else improvements over Mixmaster they had like seen.

I ask because I see YAMN as a TypeII+ Remailer, compared to Mixmaster, which's
development and Network should be supported, because it runs on so many
different devices.

Another interesting thought. :-)

Well, invention in that sense that Zax drastically shortened the standard
key lifetime, compared to IIRC standard Mixmaster settings.

Four of your five chains are invalid.

Good luck crossing steets. Use walkovers or unders, stay out of
crosswalks.

About a decade ago the server that hosted the 'austria' remailer,
which was involved in an e-mailed bomb threat, was seized by
Austrian authorities at the FBI's instigation.

<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.privacy.anon-server/c/q8oMjdbQg8g>
<https://news.softpedia.com/news/FBI-Pays-Visit-to-Austrian-Remailer-in-Connection-to-Bomb-Threats-266582.shtml>
<https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/04/fbi-seizes-activists-anonymous-remailer-server-in-bomb-threat-investigation/>
<https://www.wired.com/2012/04/fbi-seizes-server/>

Such incidents should pull the trigger for the immediate renewal of
all remailers' keys with a destruction of the old ones shortly
afterwards.

A couple of spiteful fags were responsible for the bomb threats
over toilet access. One of them is a well-known Usenet abuser
named Seamus. Yes THAT Seamus.

Bomb threats at Penn State are nothing new. It happens all the
time.

Distance is a valid setting and it is defined in the Stats section.

Chain selection is probably the trickiest thing to get right and it's
quite likely there are bugs in the current implementation (the OP
appears to be seeing one).

The main problem is deciding how to behave when the remailers available
(and their stats) cannot fulfil the user's configuration requirements.
Mixmaster fails in these circumstances with "No remailers available".
Yamn has a plethora of error messages that attempt to explain the
problem and (in some instances) will relax stats requirements to try and
find more remailers meeting the desired criteria.

This is good advise but I'd still like Yamn to behave as well as
possible to reasonable user configurations. I'll try and take a look at
it. Moving the whole chain creation process to a dedicated package and
adding some tests would be a good start.
