[...] David, I don't know who you could talk to about this... the lists you're trying to subscribe to are *not* closed. The only thing I did differently in subscribing to these myself is sent seperate messages for each list I wanted to join, rather than bundling them all into one message with 'end' at the end. Perhaps this would work for you, too? When the authentication message arrives, you just cut and paste the auth code into another message to Majordomo, and you're on the list. Hope this helps, -Charles To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
