   It's a user's choice whether they want to inject their remailer message   
   into the remailer network via a Tor hidden service like Mixmin's   
      
   3fd6guyxldqnjaqtfzejnjvq6bj7ilv5u7g7ovbubhwoeqhc222zvrad.onion:25   
      
   or whether they want to inject it directly via the SMTP server of the   
   entry remailer, say fleegle.mixmin.net:25   
      
   The former method hides your IP address from the the entry remailer.   
      
   The later method reveals your IP address to the entry remailer.
