Vladimir Z Nuri says he's having trouble posting to the list, so here's the note on phase three of the beta-test for his experimental reputation/mail filtering software. Some people believe vznuri (the visionary) is Larry Detweiler; I don't really care - he's too coherent, and his software looks interesting. Non netcom-ers will have trouble ftp'ing to netcom, though.

Nuri" <vikram!vznuri@netcom.com> Hello. At one time I posted a message asking for volunteers to help me debug some reputation/mail filtering software. My "phase two" tests are progressing and the software is serving multiple subscribers with a degree of reliability. I would now like to open up my tests to the wider cypherpunk audience for "phase three". I would be delighted if anyone would be interested in participating. At this point I particularly need people who want to play with the command features and are not just subscribing to what they see as a free and no-involvement-required mail filtering service. In preparation for any new users I have just html'd the complete documentation for easy reference on my web site. The software is still in a prototype stage and the redistribution of messages is not at the utmost reliable level. In particular at this stage I may still have to periodically put the list on "hold" periodically to debug the software. However at this point I believe the reliability is rapidly nearing a high level. For more information use Mosaic or Lynx to the URL ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/vznuri/home.html (I have relaxed earlier more formal nondisclosure terms but I do ask that you submit to an informal "nonpublicity" agreement.) This will serve as the master bulletin board for future developments in the software. pay special attention to the "status" item which I will update very regularly (and in most cases use in lieu of a mailing list) Thanks-- p.s. this was posted through a remailer due to mailing problems at my end. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ \ / ~/ |\| | | |> | Vladimir Z.
