Is Mixmaster the best current solution? How serious are the

I like Postfix very much, and its security record is pretty good, but
I'm not sure a full blown MTA in Postfix' class is needed for this

I'm only speaking for myself, but I'd be happy to consider an
implementation of this for Tails.

I'm sorry if this question is naive, but... why exactly does Mixmaster
send MX queries? Can't we get rid of the need at the root?
