Hi, Karl. The list was a bit quiet yesterday. Perhaps cpunks were outside in the Big Blue, or otherwise engaged. I sent a note that you should have received.
I found it (but never received it): https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-May/087696.html Guess it's an issue with me receiving things via gmail.

Hey Greg,
Can you confirm that people _subscribed_ to the list experience a spam filter now? I thought my emails were getting spammed due to not being subscribed, but it turns out this address is, actually, subscribed; I was told this when I attempted subscribing.
Yes, there are a few standard spam filters and related mechanisms on the server. This includes Spamassassin, DKIM, SPF, and DMARC. These have been in place since the list moved to pglaf.org a few years ago.
When you said "Any subscriber email address can post anything" at https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-May/087482.html I thought you meant that there as no spam filtering of subscribed posts. I infer I misunderstood. My perception of cypherpunks has been of a list where no posts are censored, it being up to the users to filter their mails. Do you have a memory of this?
I have not observed any messages from you that were flagged as spam or rejected.
Do you receive this link to a message of mine that was rejected? https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-May/087594.html
If you are seeing other people's messages in the list archive, but not getting them in your inbox, the first thing to check is your Gmail Spam folder. If messages still don't arrive within a few minutes, send me details and I can check the server logs to see whether delivery was attempted and what happened.
I have my spam filter configured to prevent all cpunks list messages from being spammed, so it's something else. Maybe routing delay. Hey, did you ever receive the attached e-mail? I'm not finding it in the list archives. It was sent on April 30th.
