If so then NSA's $CARNIVORE variable tap inside Google's
unencrypted internal network was set by mistake to
HUNGRY instead of SNIFF, thus exposing themselves again.
Gmail users may now send decoy text laced with BEEF

Those old missing messages still have never appeared
from whatever queue or bitbucket they got sent to,
however a regular flow of newly originated spam
from others appears to have resumed delivery ok,
so expect more of my spam to resume as usual.


Re: List Status

(I'm cc'ing Karl & grarpamp directly, also)

I just made a small tweak to the outbound mail settings, and also subscribed my 
own gmail account to see whether I can replicate the situation.

I confirmed that messages are in fact being delivered to the @gmail addresses 
(no bounces). So, it's a mystery why they are not showing up in your inbox.

If this is impacting other cypherpunks users in gmail domains, they might 
simply think the list has suddenly gone quiet.

Let's keep pursuing this. It shouldn't be happening.

Sorry that list administrivia needs to be discussed on the list :(

List Status

2021-05-27 Thread grarpamp
I'm not receiving messages from the
listserv to gmail. People post them since
they appear in archives, but after that
the listserv to gmail function appears broken.
I don't think any of the 'List Status' thread,
made it to my gmail box. Same for a bunch
more posts that I now discovered in the archives.

However, unsubscribe and subscribe works,
so that part of the queue/delivery is still ok,
even those those management messages
all got spamfoldered by gmail. There are no
user defined filters here.

I don't know if anyone is seeing my messages
to the list.

I would generally check the listservs outbound
mail queues for excess spooling to gmail, and
specifically verify that some of the message-ids
got 'accepted' by gmail service from cpunks,
such as...

I don't think that's accurate, otherwise the censorship would have been 
happening earlier.

The mechanism that blocked the cock.li domain is the blacklist.

Spamassassin is a separate project than Ubuntu, which loads the blacklists by 
default.

The blacklists are, in turn, separate projects.

Personally, as mentioned earlier, I am not a fan of blacklists. They are too 
easy to get on, and too difficult to get off of. They seem to have close to no 
ability to respond to reports of false positives (i.e., when a domain ends up 
on a blacklist, but should not be).

Good riddance to the blacklists for the cpunks list!

The Gmail filter that Tom suggested might help.

As mentioned, I can try to diagnose messages that don't go through, but it's 
tough to do unless I know the specific message in question, and when it's sent. 
This is because we get around 1M lines/day in the mail log, invariably 
including multiple similar messages to the cypherpunks subscriber list.

Yes, I realize it's hard to know when a message does NOT arrive, unless you are 
watching the archive at the same time as you are watching your inbox.

I over-generalized. It's true if the spam filtering doesn't reject it, or 
another failure condition, like temporary network outages. Or exceeding the max 
message size (I think it's 20M).

What I really meant not "can post" but "is permitted to post." Or, "is not 
restricted from posting based on topic etc." More simply stated, there's no 
moderation of list traffic, other than the types of automation that Mailman 
(the list manager software), Postfix (the message transfer agent) or related 
elements of the email stack apply.

> a memory of this?

Sure (I've been on the list since the year 2000 or so). One way this used to be 
handled was with remailers. Some remailers were completely unfiltered - for 
example, they would accept random SMTP connections to port 25 and not do any 
checks that the email headers were valid or accurate.

John Gilmore's toad.com was canonical for this, but not the only member of the 
remailer circle. Subscribers would choose a remailer to subscribe to. In 
addition to choosing a level of comfort for spam and some noisier subscribers, 
the remailer system made cypherpunks more resistant to state-level shutdowns. 
(It didn't make it less susceptible to surveillance, particullarly, and it also 
made the whole system more prone to various problems like delivery failure and 
message loops.)

There were other remailers that had different procedures (i.e., stricter), 
which translated into less spam (in the "unsolicited commercial email" sense). 
For awhile, there was at least one moderated remailer where a human tried to 
only let the "good" stuff through. 

Today, the cypherpunks list doesn't have anyone doing censorship. However, it 
does use a set of standard mechanisms for limiting abuse. I already mentioned 
Spamassassin (one of many, many spam filters), and the trio of standards: 
DMARC, DKIM and SPF.

In addition, the server enables TLS and a few other things to make it more 
difficult to spoof someone else's email address (i.e., to send email as 
bill.ga...@microsoft.com or somesuch; or email the cypherpunks list claiming to 
be a subscriber -- a common way, in olden times, of sending spam or of 
impersonating someone else).

A less restricted remailer is definitely still possible, and could interoperate 
alongside the current system, just like remailers used to interoperate. Someone 
(not me) would need to set that up.

Hi, Karl. The list was a bit quiet yesterday. Perhaps cpunks were outside in 
the Big Blue, or otherwise engaged. I sent a note that you should have received.

Yes, there are a few standard spam filters and related mechanisms on the 
server. This includes Spamassassin, DKIM, SPF, and DMARC. These have been in 
place since the list moved to pglaf.org a few years ago.

Just in the past days, in Spamassassin, I turned off use of the blacklists, 
since they have occasionally been problematic.

I have not observed any messages from you that were flagged as spam or rejected.

However, sometimes messages are rejected before they get to the list or to me - 
if this happens to you, then (a) you will get a bounce from the pglaf.org 
(a.k.a., cpunks.org) server, and (b) the message won't go into the archive.

None of this is nefarious or specific to cpunks. Other than the change 
mentioned to remove the blacklists from Spamassassin, all of this stuff is 
out-of-the-box with Ubuntu.

> In other news, I haven't been receiving mails from the list recently

Yes, you are subscribed. Only subscribers can submit, and your messages are 
going through and in the archive. If you are not certain whether your message 
went to the list, first check the archive via https://lists.cpunks.org (no 
login required). 

If you are not getting copies of your own messages, there is a setting for this 
that everyone can select for their own subscription. Use the web interface at 
https://lists.cpunks.org to login to the list and see your settings.

You can opt to get a copy of your own messages, and you can also get an "ack" 
email message when your message was posted. The default is to *not* get a copy 
of your own messages, and to *not* get an acknowledgment. 

HOWEVER, gmail absolutely positively will not show you a copy of your own 
message!! Even if you set the list (via Mailman) to send you a copy. It will 
silently discard it or otherwise mask it. This is a gmail thing that is 
well-known and does not have a workaround that I've heard about.

If you are seeing other people's messages in the list archive, but not getting

messages still don't arrive within a few minutes, send me details and I can 
check the server logs to see whether delivery was attempted and what happened.

I have such a filter configured too.

Messages would get sent to spam if it weren't for a filter I've created. So
yes, this is a common issue.

https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-April/087395.html
.  i'm probably suppressing frustration.  i have not received any
cypherpunks emails since the 23rd.

I found it (but never received it):

Guess it's an issue with me receiving things via gmail.

When you said "Any subscriber email address can post anything" at
https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-May/087482.html I
thought you meant that there as no spam filtering of subscribed posts.
I infer I misunderstood.

My perception of cypherpunks has been of a list where no posts are
censored, it being up to the users to filter their mails.  Do you have
a memory of this?

Do you receive this link to a message of mine that was rejected?
https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-May/087594.html

I have my spam filter configured to prevent all cpunks list messages
from being spammed, so it's something else.  Maybe routing delay.

Hey, did you ever receive the attached e-mail?  I'm not finding it in
the list archives.  It was sent on April 30th.

Greg, can you clarify whether or not the list is doing spam filtering?

Well, out-of-the-box ubuntu censors cock.li, which I would describe as 
nefarious. And it means that bona fide users of ubuntu end up unwillingly 
censoring cock.li. Which looks nefarious to me as well =P




List Status

2021-05-25 Thread Karl
Hey Greg,

Can you confirm that people _subscribed_ to the list experience a spam
filter now?  I thought my emails were getting spammed due to not being
subscribed, but it turns out this address is, actually, subscribed; I
was told this when I attempted subscribing.

In other news, I haven't been receiving mails from the list recently
(recent mails in the archive aren't in my inbox yet), not sure if it
matters.
