Not sure I'd want to put any sendmail sources inside a mixmaster
remailer -- tomorrows sendmail bug might allow a buffer overflow in
the remailer, which could be used for example to mail out the private
key!
I think one needs to approach the problem pragmatically and take a
simplified algorithm which is simple enough to be implemented safely.
