This seems correct.

Evidently these messages went to you and was handled correctly, but were never 
posted to the cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org list.

If anyone thinks messages *were* posted but *were not* archived at the link 
above, please let me know and I can dig into some log files.

Yes.  Mailman rejects a few things silently, but mostly people should get a 
bounce if a message is not accepted for the list.  If anyone spots anomalies, 
let me know and I can take a closer look at the list config.

I believe it's safe to "Cc: cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org" but not "Bcc: 
cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org"

Also Mailman has a threshold for how many addresses may be included in To: and 
Cc: before flagging for the moderator (me).  This hasn't happened recently.

I noticed this whole series of messages seems to be archived correctly, which 
indicates that at least some things are currently working correctly.

Meh.  Sounds like a conventional offsite backup strategy to me.  It does
seem to indicate high confidence in the cryptographic tools used to
prevent stored data from being read by hostiles, with unusually strong
forward security (resistance to cryptanalysis for, say, 50+ years).

This contract would also indicate high confidence in methods used to
prevent useful source attribution and traffic analysis of files being
written into and read out of the archival servers in question,
presumably by parties including the vendor providing the service.

I'd like to see the protocols involved.  If they're that good, they
should be published because doing so will enhance The National Interest
at no cost to The National Security.

He said.  With malice aforethought.
