Hi, folks. Here is FYI concerning email delivery failures for cypherpunks:
Since the afternoon (PST) of December 23, an issue with the upstream network
provider's DNS has evidently caused some list recipients to not get messages.
The issue is that the recipient's email provider rejects messages
It turned out the server needed a reboot.
If you didn't get a bounce from a message you sent, probably it will eventually
get delivered. The mail transport agents try to deliver, and upon failure will
leave a message queued - usually for a few days.
If you sent a message and it's not delivered

Hi, Karl. We do have a system-wide spam filter, but no specific filtering for
the cpunks list. For example, no blacklists of who can subscribe. Any
subscriber email address can post anything. Modulo that standard anti-spoofing
mechanisms (mainly SPF) may cause rejection of a post if it seems to
I adjusted spamassassin to no longer utilize the blacklists.
