Hmm. It took me several reads of this to decipher it. I think what you're saying is: There were a lot of flamers on -questions a while back, and now they're gone. Did this happen because of discrete (or otherwise) use of Postfix? <core hat half on> If that's the question, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. If it has happened, it would have been without the consent or knowledge of the core team. We have on occasion blocked people, but it's been a long time since the last time. In general, we've found that blocking obnoxious posters doesn't work. Last time we tried it, the person in question just changed his email address and started spamming us in earnest. </core hat half on> Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
