IIRC both Tor and chained remailers can't be traced to the OP unless the
authorities are monitoring the sender because they deemed him/her
suspicious previously. The way around this is to find a service that
introduces a random delay in forwarding. Still not 100% secure as *I
think* the outgoing encrypted message may be able to be compared to the
arriving message before decryption.

Your best bet is to find a list, forum, or news group dedicated to
security and ask there.
