Dear Webmaster: Sorry to hit you with this again, but all my attempts to send it to=20 freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG have been bounced back to me as=20 "undeliverable", for the following apparent reason: Transcript of session follows: DATA 503 Error: need RCPT command This time, I am trying it from an alter-ego mailbox I maintain, and perhaps= =20 it will finally get through. If it does get through, please forward it to= =20 someone in the FreeBSD organization who can make the best use of it. Thank you.
