Do they really? I'd bet my Fbsd box for this message not getting through to -newbies.. > I can't say I agree with that, but it's not my > list.

Today I can't send mail to freebsd lists, because they have plain stupid M$Exchange server here, and whenever I try to send mail via it, I get response "sender not recognized in recipients address" or something like that. Of course, every once in a while a spam message gets through, but personally I think it could be a LOT worse.
