Status: U Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 20:00:01 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cypherpunks List Info Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cypherpunks Distributed Remailers list info. Last updated: 9/28/01 This message is also available at http://www.lne.com/cpunk Instructions on unsubscribing from the list can be found below. The Cypherpunks list is a mailing list for discussing cryptography and its effect on society. It is not a moderated list (but see exceptions below) and the list operators are not responsible for the list content. The CDR is a distributed mailing list. A subscriber can subscribe to one node of the list and thereby participate on the full list. Each node exchanges messages with the other nodes, so a message posted to one node will be received by the list subscribers on the other nodes. The various CDRs follow different policies on filtering spam and to a smaller extent on modifying messages that go to/from their subscribers. Filtering is done, on nodes that do it, to reduce the huge amount of spam that the cypherpunks list is subjected to. There are three basic flavors of filtering CDRs: "raw", which send all messages to their subscribers. "cooked" CDRs try to eliminate the spam on that's on the regular list by automatically sending only messages that are from cypherpunks list subscribers (on any CDR) or people who are replying to list messages. And finally there are moderated lists, where a human moderator decides which messages from the raw list to pass on to subscribers. Message modification policy indicates what modifications, if any, beyond what is needed to operate the CDR are done (most CDRs add a tracking X-loop header on mail posted to their subscribers to prevent mail loops). Message modification usually happens on mail going in or out to each CDR's subscribers. No CDRs modify mail that they pass from one CDR to the next. Privacy policy indicates if the list will allow anyone ("open"), or only list members, or no one ("private") , to retrieve the subscribers list. Note that if you post, being on a "private" list doesn't mean much, since your address is now out there. It's really only useful for keeping spammers from harvesting addresses. Digest mode indicates that the CDR supports digest mode, which is where the posts are batched up into a few large emails. Nodes that support only digest mode are noted. Anonymous posting: Cypherpunks encourages anonymous posting. You can use an anonymous remailer: http://www.andrebacard.com/remail.html http://anon.efga.org/Remailers http://www.gilc.org/speech/anonymous/remailer.html Or you can send posts to the list via [EMAIL PROTECTED] and your mail's headers will be stripped before posting. Note that this doesn't provide complete anonymity since the receiving site will still have log file entries showing the source of the mail (or you have to trust that they delete them). Unsubscribing from the cypherpunks list: Since the list is run from a number of different CDRs, you have to figure out which CDR you are subscribed to. If you don't remember and can't figure it out from the mail headers (hint: the top Received: line should tell you), the easiest way to unsubscribe is to send unsubscribe messages to all the CDRs listed below. All commands are sent in the body of mail unless otherwise noted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Algebra: Operator: Subscription: "subscribe cypherpunks" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscription: "unsubscribe cypherpunks" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help: "help cypherpunks" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Posting address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Filtering policy: raw Message Modification policy: no modification Privacy policy: ???
