New Mailing List (encrypted)

17 Dec 2003

      -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello everyone,

	I have installed PGPdomo on vishnu.alias.net. I've also
created a new mailing list that you can join if you wish. It's a
closed mailing list, so subscriptions must be approved. What makes
this mailing list different is that all submissions are encrypted and
all outbound messages are encrypted to the PGP key of the
recipient. This means you can discuss whatever you wish without fear
of discovery or retribution. The name of the mailing list is
cypher-list and it's home is vishnu.alias.net. The theme of the
mailing list is basically anything one might discuss about
cryptography, crypto-politics, remailers, government, Kevin Mitnick,
etc. It's kind of like cypherpunks but accepts a wider discussion
base. The difference is encryption. As mentioned above, the list is
handled in a secure fashion. I've included the help file for PGPdomo
below to assist in subscribing to the list. Here is the simplified for
for subscribing:

Send email to cypher-list-request@vishnu.alias.net

	In the body of the message specify:

subscribe cypher-list
[your PGP public key in ascii-armored format]

	You will be added to the mailing list and emailed the welcome
message.

	Here's the help file:

You have reached the J. P. and Associates "Majordomo" mailing list
manager, version 1.93.  This is a modified version of Majordomo 
1.93 that includes PGP support.  Majordomo's public key is
available at:

            ftp://vishnu.alias.net/pub/majordomo.pgp

Additionally, the public key for Majordomo@vishnu.alias.net can be found on
the PGP keyservers.

Majordomo@vishnu.alias.net will accept the following commands in clear-text 
(i.e no encryption): help; lists; info; and which.

All other clear-text commands must be sent to the specific list using 
the email address:
	 <listname>-request@vishnu.alias.net

Where <listname> is a valid listname without the <> characters.

In the description below, items contained in []'s are optional. When
providing the item, do not include the []'s around it.

It understands the following commands:

    subscribe <list> [<address>]
    [-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Additional PGP information:

When submitting entries to a PGP protected list, please comply with
the following:

o encrypt the entire submission for Majordomo@vishnu.alias.net 
  (-e option of pgp)
o use Transport Armor (.asc, radix-64, the -a option of pgp)
o sign your submissions (-s option of pgp)
o use the linefeed conversion option (-t option of pgp)

'pgp -east submission Majordomo@vishnu.alias.net' where submission is your 
file should work nicely.
