It was actually bounced messages, not spam, the was the problem. That's what he told me in private email, not on the list, my mistake. -Declan On Mon, Aug 27, 2001 at 06:14:46AM -1000, Reese wrote:

Lance has not posted a message to the Cypherpunks list in several years, maybe more, that I can recall.
Lance did post a message in the last month announcing that his cpunx node was going down. Too much bandwidth devoted to spam, he said. Other than that, I haven't seen him enter discussions in years, as you said.
I do not recall the spam attribution, but I've delved and quote it below for posterity. It was the fact that the cyberpass node lost its list of screibers, then that it would go down for days at a time, that motivated me to jump ship. Especially since there was no reply and no explanation for any of the above occurrences. I figured Lance wanted to shut that node down and move on to other things.

The cypherpunks@cyberpass.net node of the cypherpunks list will be closing on Friday August 10.
You should ensure that you are subscribed to a different node of the cypherpunks list before that time.
