John -- Just got back after vacation... It is my understanding that cpunks list has been attacked by several clever tricks. I have a couple of suggestions on how to improve protection of this list: # Use the following recipe in .procmailrc for cypherpunks (or majordomo) # account: :0 * ^TOcypherpunks * !^X-Loop: * !^FROM_MAILER * !^FROM_DAEMON * !^X-Mailing-List: { # get rid of duplicates :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 65524 msgid.cache # add X-Loop:, etc :0 fhw | formail -I "X-Loop: cypherpunks@toad.com" \ -I "X-Mailing-List: cypherpunks@toad.com" \ -I "Precedence: list" \ -I "Errors-To: cypherpunks-errors@toad.com" # this recipe finally passes the submission to majordomo :0 | majordomo .... } The rest is not really anything for cypherpunks, and should go to /dev/null. - Igor.
