I think that it would be really great if Mailman (and other mailing list applications) would support encryption. When user will register to mailing list he or she should send his/her public GPG key to the Mailman server. He/she would then receive public GPG key of mailing list.
Not a bad idea.
All mail sent to the list should then be encrypted (recipient is mailing list address and user has it's public GPG key). Mailing list would then decrypt it, and deliver that message to it's users encrypted and signed.
A given message could be encrypted to the public keys of every recipient of the list - entirely doable. It could even be done with gpg and the -R option (Encrypt to user ID, but hide the key ID). Not that this would particularly help with publically archived mailing lists because the e-mail addresses of origin would be public (SMTP spoofing as a way of life?)
What do you think?
I think it's an experiment that would generate interesting results. I'd be especially interested in seeing what CPU utilization on the server side is like under varying traffic loads (for better speccing out servers to run such a mailing list). - -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] [ZS] Developer, Project Byzantium: http://project-byzantium.org/ PGP: 0x807B17C1 / 7960 1CDC 85C9 0B63 8D9F DD89 3BD8 FF2B 807B 17C1 WWW: https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ Meeble!
