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.

Could some helpful soul post a current list of currently working remailers, ideally with some commentary as to one might be better than another?

I assume given the context that you meant CDR, not remailer. I wrote the stuff below to answer someone's request for a list of CDRs and their policies. I'd like to keep it up to date and post it regularly. Not all fields are filled in and some may be incorrect. Could the appropriate CDR ops send me corrections/updates? Thanks. Cypherpunks Distributed Remailers list info. Last updated: 8/7/01 This message is also available at http://www.lne.com/cpunk/cdr.html The Cypherpunks list is a mailing list for discussing cryptography and its effect on soceity. It is not a moderated list (but see exceptions below) and the list operators are not responsible for the list content. The CDR is a distributed mailing list. A subscriber can subscribe to one node of the list and therby participate on the full list. Each node exchanges messages with the other nodes, so a message posted to one node will be received by the list subscribers on the other nodes. The various CDRs follow different policies on filtering spam and to a smaller extent on modifying messages that go to/from their subscribers. Filtering is done, on nodes that do it, to reduce the huge amount of spam that the cypherpunks list is subjected to. There are three basic flavors of filtering CDRs: "raw", which send all messages to their subscribers. "cooked" CDRs try to eliminate the spam on that's on the regular list by automatically sending only messages that are from cypherpunks list subscribers (on any CDR) or people who are replying to list messages. And finally there are moderated lists, where a human moderator decides which messages from the raw list to pass on to subscribers. Message modification policy indicates what modifications, if any, beyond what is needed to operate the CDR are done (most CDRs add a tracking X-loop header on mail posted to their subscribers to prevent mail loops). Message modification usually happens on mail going in or out to each CDR's subscribers. No CDRs modify mail that they pass from one CDR to the next. Privacy policy indicates if the list will allow anyone ("open"), or only list members, or no one ("private") , to retreive the subscribers list. Note that if you post, being on a "private" list doesn't mean much, since your address is now out there. It's really only useful for keeping spammers from harvesting addresses. All commands are sent in the body of mail unless otherwise noted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Algebra: Operator: Subscription: "subscribe" to majordomo@algebra.com Unsubscription: "unsubscribe" to majordomo@algebra.com Help: "help" to majordomo@algebra.com Posting address: cypherpunks@algebra.com Filtering policy: raw Message Modification policy: no modification Privacy policy: ???
