Re: Network of majordomos (fwd)
Usenet technology does exactly what you're describing: it's a distributed database of messages designed to facilitate each server getting its own copy of every message, and holding it locally for distribution to interested readers. Other people have been kind enough to write, debug, and document

Did you get it running last nite Greg? When do you expect to be able to handle traffic?
Yes, I installed INN and ran a few hundred test messages through it last night. My machine will be on the net full-time Thursday or Friday. Will yours be ready then, too? If you need some help setting it up, let me know. It can be a little tricky if you haven't done it before. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 4.5 iQEVAgUBMwJE/f37pMWUJFlhAQH/9Af9E9FqR2oQXmL77j6wVnoD1Szh4FH3a8X+ Kc9GILJO0b6PpjNh2qEG2xTs2XYW6GgKmnQVqyA92otB8LtZND46LAuef5IQgbgD BxYPiUp5rgrhwpx1ArFqT6GfQQKIjFHNpSqyximWSv+TmoK/ptx/uhA7jP+VmOKy 5mbYhXZbbH/GXKa5W+pZzjHu6XEXMl9L4jiMdgWZAmkkn2OTpkUFu9N/FosoiQw+ tK33WqQtNX5N/gqvO5sOZYEgOlmJMzM+f5sqtbGnokc3FxZQxwRbshmJ5xRPkOtU rcLzL7/jzP03nQfGLHj4iFzUgPO+rYQ/ur5VxSuR/svZvm+XIxuqOg== =jxJb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Greg Broiles | US crypto export control policy in a nutshell: gbroiles@netbox.com | http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | Export jobs, not crypto. |

Bryan, What you did may be the ideal way to go actually. It would be great to have several NNTP servers with these (or similarly named) groups open to the world. I believe that it is possible to set them up such that they feed each other. say, the following groups may be good: cypherpunks.crypto cypherpunks.politics cypherpunks.flames cypherpunks.products cypherpunks.pgp (sort of redundant with the pgp newsgroups) cypherpunks.groups cypherpunks.admin cypherpunks.kooks cypherpunks.remailers cypherpunks.paranoia (or cypherpunks.tla) cypherpunks.politics.assassination cypherpunks.censorship (the following part is more questionable as some people would argue in favor of nocems) cypherpunks.moderated.sandy-sandfort cypherpunks.moderated.ray-arachelian cypherpunks.moderated.tim-may cypherpunks.moderated.... whoever else wants ... igor Bryan Reece wrote:
