YAMN HELP

Install the YAMN client on Windows 10

There are three ways to use YAMN under Windows: on the command line; by using Christian Danner's Omnimix program; or by using Inwtx's Yamn Remailer Client created by Inwtx Admin.

Command Line Usage

• Download the Yamn binary, with a choice of many different architectures, including Windows, HERE or HERE.

• Create a folder for your YAMN client. We suggest c:\Users\Bob\yamn.

• Rename binaries/yamn-windows-amd64.exe to yamn.exe, and then move yamn.exe into your new yamn folder.

• Now you only need to place a configuration file, yamn.yml, in that folder and you are ready to go. Here is a sample yamn.yml for you to start with.

• In your yamn folder compose your outgoing message in a file message.txt. Here is a sample for you: message.txt. Change recipient@example.com to a valid recipient address.

• Now lets actually begin using YAMN. Open a terminal window and change to directory C:\Users\Bob\yamn

• At the command line do:
  

  yamn --refresh

  
  

  yamn --mail 
  
  
  This will create an encrypted YAMN message chained through three random remailers and placed into c:\Users\Bob\yamn\pool

• To send out the messages in your pool do:

  yamn -S

More Examples

# Create an anonymous email through 3 random remailers


yamn --mail 



# Create an anonymous email through 3 random remailers. Send multiple copies

yamn --mail --copies=2 



# Create an anonymous email through 4 random remailers. Send multiple copies

yamn --mail --chain="*,*,*,*" --copies=3 



# Generate one dummy message and place it in the pool

yamn -d

YAMN Remailer Client

• Download the YAMN Remailer Client for Windows

• Extract the contents of the Zip file into a seperate folder. We suggest C:\Users\Bob\yamn-client.

• The program's executable is YAMNclient.exe. Double-click on it.



• The program is very easy to grasp. At the top of the program window you will see a blue dropdown box called "Templates". Choose the template called [Basic To] to load a template to send an anonymous email. Choose the template called [Basic Newsgroups] to load a template for sending to Usenet.

Omnimix (v2.6.7) as a YAMN Remailer Client

• Download the latest Omnimix (v2.6.7), which has support for both Yamn and Mixmaster remailer usage.

• Double-click on the Installer and follow the steps for full installation.

• Read the tutorial for a good overview of how to use Omnimix.

• Important Notes on YAMN & Omnimix:
  -> There's a Remailer selector at the StateInt tab: Mixmaster or Yamn. Choose Yamn.
  -> There's a Remailer selector at the Mailer tab: Default or Mixmaster or Yamn. Choose Yamn.
  -> Finally, there's a Remailer selector at the SetNym tab: Default or Mixmaster or Yamn. Choose Yamn.
