   Victor: mail2news v1.0.0

   Just pushed a major upgrade to the mail2news gateway.   
   Lots of under-the-hood work to make traffic analysis harder.   
      
   What's new:   
      
   CSPRNG everywhere (bye bye math/rand)   
   Constant-time comparisons against timing attacks   
   SHA-256 hashed Message-ID cache   
   Secure memory wiping for sensitive data   
      
   Anti-traffic analysis goodies:   
      
   Adaptive message padding (512-4096 bytes)   
   Randomized delays (50-500ms + jitter)   
   Metadata stripping on steroids   
      
   Heads up:   
   X-Hashcash header no longer makes it to NNTP.   
   Why?   
   It contains your exact posting timestamp - kind of defeats the purpose of all   
   that timing obfuscation.   
   Don't worry, PoW validation still happens server-side before anything gets   
   posted.
