All, Welcome back to the Cypherpunks mailing list. You've received a subscription notice and are receiving this message now because you were a member of the cypherpunks@al-qaeda.net or cypherpunks@jfet.org mailing list before it went offline several (?) weeks ago. First, my sincerest apologies for having failed to notice that messages were silently dropping. All the bounces were still dropping into my "cypherpunks bounces" mailbox, so from what I could tell all was running normally (if perhaps at slightly low SNR). It turns out that some package upgrade, most likely a new version of perl, broke majordomo. (And of course, could I have picked a worse time to break everything?) Well, that's the bad news. The good news is that cypherpunks is now powered by Mailman, and should be a bit more reliable, easier to maintain, and less Rube-Goldbergian. (I say this with all respect to my cpunk admin predecessors; the CDR was a useful and interesting piece of software, but---at least, in its most recent form---it was certainly not a *pretty* piece of software.) Nevertheless, since I haven't actually done much other than port the old majordomo list over to mailman, the Distributed Remailer functionality no longer obtains. Practically, this hasn't mattered for at least the last 6 or 8 years, but perhaps that would change if I would just modernize the software a bit. I'm planning on putting some thought into that in the near future, but for now I figured it was more important to just get *something* back up and running. Once again, welcome back! -=rsw
