My moderation bot STUMP, available for free download at my Web Site http://www.algebra.com/~ichudov, actively supports pseudonymous posters who identify themselves with PGP.
It looks pretty good, but the description only says USENET. Can it also be used on mailing-lists?
Yes, it can. Just replace the definition of RNEWS to the call to resend script.
If so, can someone who have the resources please run it on the cypherpunks list (just the pseudonym feature please, not the moderation)?
I think that people are very leery of using anything with word "moderation" in it in cypherpunks mailing lists.
STUMP rewrites the From: field for pseudonymous letters, substituting the From: field to the user ID in the PGP key.
I suggest also putting the PGP key fingerprint into the From: field, because the user ID can be forged, making it less useful for filtering purposes.
Mmmm, that's not a bad idea. I will think about it and maybe put it in.
