Bleh, it was broken by a bad entry in the VuXML document.  I have
fixed it so the portaudit db should be working again shortly (after

Thanks for the report!

Personally I recomend spam filters instead of trying to hide email
addresses.

For specific problems like this, the workaround is to contact the
FreeBSD Security Team directly as those emails won't be published.

[Further dicussion on anti-spam filters to some other list than
freebsd-security].
