Either you list denizens will, among yourselves, put in the energy to build a new home for the list (and run it in whatever way your volunteers want) by Feb 20, or the list will cease to exist on Feb 20. [ . . . ]
Denizens, I can provide a pentium box running Linux with a T1 connection to MAE-West to host the list, if there is still interest. The domain name would be hidden.net (reserved in anticipation of running a remailer). I'd use majordomo. Before doing this, I'd need the answers to a few questions: - Is there still any interest in a cypherpunks mailing list? - Is alt.cypherpunks a better alternative? - Should posting to the list be limited to subscribers? Naturally, one could subscribe from a nym.alias.net account. - Majordomo can be configured to require confirmation of subscription requests, thus avoiding some attacks. Is there any simple way to protect against mailloops? Directly accessing the listname-outgoing alias? - Is a pentium up to the task of running a list of this size and volume? Let me know what you think. Regards, Patrick May
