That's a lot. Too bad some of them were probably from me trying to write to the list and not exactly understanding why I couldn't. Just because you are dropping lots of messages doesn't always mean you are dropping the right ones. > > Hell, I could make a list that drops all messages and then say I never get any spam. > > My problem writing to the list is currently solved but I had to purchase a Macintosh to do it hence the email address. :) by the way, the problem is most likely at your isp's mail server. the freebsd.org mail server doesn't allow mails from mail servers without a reverse domain name assigned. you can test that out by sending a mail from your email address that you had problems with, to your mac.com address - then inspect the mail header and see if the mail server ip address resolves to a valid domain name. -- there's the microsoft way, there's the linux way, and there's the right way. -- freebsd, the winner's choice. http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
