I hadn't seen this mentioned. This is to coderpunks, bcc'd to cypherpunks & cryptography. Adam ------ A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 2144: Title: The CAST-128 Encryption Algorithm Author: C. Adams Date: May 1997 Mailbox: cadams@entrust.com Pages: 15 Characters: 37532 Updates/Obsoletes: None URL: ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2144.txt There is a need in the Internet community for an unencumbered encryption algorithm with a range of key sizes that can provide security for a variety of cryptographic applications and protocols. This document describes an existing algorithm that can be used to satisfy this requirement. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. ----- End of forwarded message from Adam Shostack -----

Why not? It is quite convenient for coping with the non-cross posting policy of other groups. Also what is it with the <cpunks@manifold.algebra.com> forwards, why are these coming to the list forwarded from that address? Are they things which failed your procmail filter manually forwarded afterwards? Adam
Adam, the answer is that it happens because of my spam filter for cypherpunks. you would not believe how much spam it catches... and bogus mailing lists that cypherpunks were sub-scri-bed to... the theory behind it is that if something was not sent to cypherpunks explicitly, it most likely does not belong there. naturally, I DO forward all stuff that belongs there to the list. igor Adam Back wrote:

I see. Any chance you could fix the forwards up so they look like normal posts? Maybe stuff them into a file which procmail picks up without doing the spam check? I'm not sure why someone would want to do a Bcc cypherpunks@algebra.com and Cc coderpunks@toad.com because (if I have this right) it'll be cypherpunks which sees the Cc coderpunks, and people on cypherpunks will auto-repy to coderpunks, which is the opposite of what people on coderpunks want. What people should do is Bcc coderpunks (or cryptography) for this purpose.

A good point. I will write a shell script for that when I get time.

I would agree with this. - Igor.
