It is in place. It feeds from cypherpunks@algebra.com. Bryan Reece reece@taz.nceye.net runs the posting bot. taz.nceye.net is an open newsserver offering several cypherpunks newsgroups.

I am not yet sure if taz is now a part of the mainstream usenet, that is, it may not be connected to the Big USENET.

It receives some Big Usenet groups, but only for local users. alt.cypherpunks is open, but there will be long delays, on the order of a day, for articles there (unless someone better connected to Usenet wants to feed me alt.cypherpunks.*---any volunteers?).

I just set up a recipe for using mail2news gateways like this:

:0 c | formail -I "Newsgroups: alt.cypherpunks,misc.misc" | \ sendmail mail2news@anon.lcs.mit.edu mail2news@utopia.hacktic.nl

Any objections?

It would be more mailing-list-like to have the list in a separate, isolated hierarchy. That would avoid the principal problems of Usenet (delays and email spam).

It is a very good objections. I would like readers to speak up and say their word for or against forwarding the list messages to alt.cypherpunks. If a significant number of people objects (2-3 is enough) I will disable this feature. - Igor.
