That is a very good point, the whole idea behind using a remailer is
to avoid the logging process.  Another point to ponder is if your
remailer were ever under investigation and it was known that you had
been logging all usage, you could be forced to hand over the logs and
expose all users (assuming they did not chain or your remailer was
the first in their chain).
