The oldest most popular anonymous remailer - anon.penet.fi, I think - 
was in Finland. The owner of the remailer decided to shut down 
operations when the Church of Scientology obtained a court order forcing 
him to reveal who had sent one particular piece of e-mail. Feeling he 
couldn't guarantee complete anonynimity, he preferred shutting down.
 
The event made the CBC news.
