Five days, it used to be seven, we recently dropped the length of time
we hold them due to the size. I know, only two days shorter than a week
so it still fits to say we have them for a week :)

That's true, we aren't designed to give you anonymity from the US
government because we operate under their laws. However, I don't think
anonymizer can provide that either for much the same reasons. If you
need that kind of anonymity don't trust any single service, use the
remailers.
