From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-ports@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk * I've ported mailagent 3.0 PL44 (a sophisticated automatic * mail-filtering program). Now, the problem with this software is there * is no official distribution site of the original archive. Original * archive can be retrieved from archive-server which the author of this * package has set up as well as in some usenet newsgroups. You can try to get it from a news archive, by setting EXTRACT_* appropreately. :) If that's too much trouble, we can put it on freefall. Take a look at the LOCAL_PORTS comment in the handbook (section 18.2.3.5 on the latest one on www.freebsd.org). Satoshi
