ahh, sorry for my late reply. I have no 'official' prove, other that it was once mention here on AO by some respective members (dont remember who, its too long ago), but there were other weird things too, such as any email comming or going to rootshell accounts took over 3 hours, aswell as some important mails never getting there. Funny enough, the mails that never reached the hackermail account were all 'security' related. If not the 'feds', then maybe the admins went through the mail, which in my eyes is the same thing. Other than that.... i never found any information about the owners of hackermail, nor anything else related to them on the net. The 'security' information that was 'lost' in that transfer had todo with the carnivore project... i sent it to myself from a webcafe to my own mail account to be able to dl it once i got home. Im sorry if i cant prove my statements.. i will however search my old posts on AO (SIGH, 750 posts) to find the thread in question where it was mentioned about being used by the feds.

Cheers.
