You'd better look at Article 12 of the Electronic Commerce Directive
(2000/31/EC). It basically says the exact opposite of what you've
written. [I would argue that a remailer falls under Article 12, though
I'm willing to discuss it.]

Followups to uk.net.regulation, as the relevant group for this
discussion.
