A more interesting downstream filter service would be something operated as an automated site, like another CDR node, except that it automatically filters out nonsubscribers to one of the main lists.

This is an old message, but let me point out that I post from a differnet address than my subscription address. I suspect I'm not the only one, so some manual "includes" may be in order.
Eric Murray took my proposal and ran with it, quickly implementing it as the "cypherpunks@lne.com" address. He has said that he is manually "including" various remailers, and probably other addresses. It might be enough for him to include the names outside of the address boxes. E.g., "Declan McCullagh," regardless of the "declan@well.com" or "agentdeclan@kremvax.org" or whatever. Of course, if people use different names AND addresses, they are indistinguishable from noise. By the way, subscribing to Eric Murray's cypherpunks@lne.com has cut out most of the spam and nearly all of the toad.com traffic. There is no significant delay, either. Or to to be more precise, I see my own posts about 2 minutes after sending them off. (It's conceivable that my own messages loop back to me faster than other messages, but this seems an unlikely feature of the mail exploder.)
