When you need to unsubscribe, change your address for purposes of the list or reach the list owner for an administrative request, you will find this message valuable. About the list: The Cypher-list watch is a digest only list featuring information regarding many aspects of privacy in the electronic age, such as encyption technology, electronic privacy, anonymous remailers and related issues. The posts from the list may originate from other mailing lists to cover the broad topics featured on the list. All material forwarded is done so with prior consent of the origining list owner. The list is suitable for many levels of user. Sometimes the topics will be *very* technical; others may just be *very* interesting! (Many will hopefully be both!) ----------------------------------- CYPHER WATCH IS MODERATED! In order to maintain a high level of quality, this is a moderated list. If you have ever subscribed to a mariginally informative list, I am sure you will appreciate the decision to present this material in this format. The listowner spends innumerable hours every week culling through every post from a pletorea of mailing lists to bring you the best of each. The concept of the list could not be delivered in any other format. One way to think of this as a Cypherpunk list without the noise! If you want to stay informed but you don't want to wade through 20 messages to read one useful post, this list is for you. Of course, moderating a list such as this involves a level of judgment, as the Cypherlist Watch will not be a mere repetition of its origniating lists. As such, some topics listmembers may think are important may not be covered or may not be covered in the depth a member desires. List members should feel free to bring such matters to the list owners attention, however, the decision of the listowner redarding the topics to be feature is final. ------------------------------ Administrivia: Submissions should be directed to the moderator at: <cypherlist-watch@joshua.rivertown.net> If a post is rejected I may or may not give a reason. As long as you use your common sense there should be no problems. Attacks on idividuals or companies are not permitted, so don't do it!

Hi there, as requested, here's some info about the filtered cypherpunks list which I run (by hand with the help of a couple of mailbots) This list is NOW running from: sunder@sundernet.com GZIPped versions of the digests are available from: http://www.sundernet.com/fdigest.html Basically, I use the 'bots to keep the list of recipients, then forward any message to this list of usernames which I find interesting, and usually noise-free... Since, I do this by hand, AND since there is no majordomo mailing list software, and since I get a lot of mail, it's a good idea to make sure the subject of any messages you send to me stand out. i.e. make the subject line: "***000 Personal junk mail for the human, not the bots ***" (The 0's are there to make sure that when Pine sorts the messages on this side, they come up on top, making sure I'll see them immediatly.) There is no automated filtering of any sort... Whatever message I find to be interesting, news-worthy, or technical (theoretical crypto, actual code, etc) gets handed over to the bots, which send it to this list. If you use some sort of filtering program to move messages to a folder, look for the string "FCPUNX:" (without quotes) in the subject field. There will usually be a propagation delay of one day to a week days - sometimes as long as two weeks between the messages on the actual cypherpunks list, and this filtered one. This is because I may not always get the chance to log in every day, and also because I may have to wade through tons of noise/spam/flames from the real list. :-) Occasionally, if I see something interesting from another list (such as Cyber Rights, coderpunks, etc) I will forward it here if I feel that it pertains to Cypherpunk interests, or that you'd like to see it. You should unsubscribe yourself from the real list by sending an "unsubscribe cypherpunks" message to majordomo@toad.com - that is send a message with no subject and just that single line - no signature either, so as to unsubscribe. - Unless you wish to continue to receive messages from the real list as well as copies of those messages from here. :-) All filtering is again according to my whims so if you dislike what I send you, sorry. I might eventually work something out where this list will be broken up into many tiny lists so you'd subscribe to whatever subjects you're interested in. This is a free service, no strings attached, just tons o'mail, but less mail than the unfiltered list... Also note that the bots I run may sometimes be slightly buggy and may do unexpected weird things. Appologies in advance if this happens. But please by all means do report any such runaway bot occurances. If you wish to unsubscribe yourself from this list, just send a message with the subject "unsubscribe fcpunx" (no quotes) and the next time I log in, one of the bots will handle the ubsubscribe. You can re-subscribe yourself as many times as you like, you'll only get one copy of each message, but as many copies of the request response as you've sent.The 'bots hone in on your address and send mail only there, so subscribe yourself from whatever account you want to receive mail. If by accident you subscribe from two different machines, the bots won't know the difference and you'll get two copies of each filtered message, so be careful. This also means that you can only unsubscribe yourself from the same address you subscribed from. To get help, send a message with the subject "help fcpunx." To subscribe yourself (if you see this, you are subscribed) send a message with the *SUBJECT* "subscribe fcpunx" NOTE: THE BOTS ONLY RESPOND TO THE SUBJECT LINE, NOT TO TEXT IN THE BODY OF YOUR MESSAGE! The bots only look at your message's subject and your mailing address so it doesn't matter what you put in the body. Whenever the 'bots honor a request from you, you'll see a response mailed from them (under my name.) Since the bots are only active when I log in and run them by hand, the message acknowledging your request may take several days to get to you. *ALL COMMANDS MUST BE SENT IN THE SUBJECT OF THE MESSAGE! The body (text) of the message are ignored. Commands available: subscribe fcpunx - subscribes you to the list and you are visible to fcpunx who requests subscribe invisible fcpunx - subscribe but don't let others know digest fcpunx - receive the digest version (visibly) digest invisible fcpunx - receive the digest invisibly unsubscribe fcpunx - unsubscribe from the list or digest undigest fcpunx who fcpunx - receive a list of (visible) subscribed users * THIS IS DISABLED CURRENTLY FOR PRIVACY PROTECTIONS OF THE SUBSCRIBERS ON THIS LIST * help fcpunx - sends a help file (you're looking at it) If you're already subscribed to the list and want to switch to the digest version, you can do this by sending a digest fcpunx message; the reverse is also true. Notice that you cannot subscribe to both the digest and the list. Sorry. If you'd like that feature either use two different accounts to receive them, or complain to me and I'll add it in. The unsubscribe and undigest commands do the same thing, they take you off the list no matter which version you're subscribed to.
