This seems correct.

Evidently these messages went to you and was handled correctly, but were never posted to the cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org list.

If anyone thinks messages *were* posted but *were not* archived at the link above, please let me know and I can dig into some log files.

Yes.  Mailman rejects a few things silently, but mostly people should get a bounce if a message is not accepted for the list.  If anyone spots anomalies, let me know and I can take a closer look at the list config.

I believe it's safe to "Cc: cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org" but not "Bcc: cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org"

Also Mailman has a threshold for how many addresses may be included in To: and Cc: before flagging for the moderator (me).  This hasn't happened recently.

I noticed this whole series of messages seems to be archived correctly, which indicates that at least some things are currently working correctly.
