Look into using anonymous remailers perhaps. Send an email to
help at nym.alias.net for info on setting up a pseudonym there. It won't be
deniable AND authenticated at the same time (you either will use PGP to
sign your messages with a separate key, or you won't) but it will be
anonymous. The remailer system can be a bit unreliable though, so be
warned.
