So far I've added 39 addresses that way, 5 of which appear to be remailers. Of the rest, roughly half are people who're cross-posting from other lists

There's 2-3 spam emails for every list email. Previously I'd been filtering most of the spam. I had no idea it'd gotten this bad.
By the way, I've been subscribed to cypherpunks@lne.com for the past week or so. It's been a joy not to see the spam and junk and "can u help me mak bombz?" noise. (I was filtering a lot of this junk out by simply filtering all cypherpunks@toad.com posts into a special folder and then occasionally looking for posts by people I recognized, as sometimes even _good_ posters were posting to the toad.com address (usually in a reply-to-all mode, one assumes). But a lot of junk was still getting through.) Latency from when I post to lne.com to when I get my own message back is usually a couple of minutes. I have no idea what it is to other nodes. Probably not much longer. However, I see the address in my Reply-to-all is "cypherpunks@slack.lne.com". This is needlessly confusing, even if slack.lne.com resolves to lne.com. --Tim May -- Timothy C.
