This still begs the question why he is getting mail if he has removed himself from the 'announce' list, even if spammers have figured out this gaping hole in majordomo. My understanding is that going to 'vmailer-announce' circumvents filters on freebsd-announce, but shouldn't the distribution of mail, from either, be the same? jack, you have removed yourself from announce? Or reported problems doing it, right? -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
