--Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey, In the past security-officer@FreeBSD.org, and a few related addresses, had spam filtering disabled, but due to the amount of spam those addresses were receiving we had to enable spam filtering. It's the same filters as used for the rest of FreeBSD.org. To make sure people can still contact the FreeBSD Security Team, even if spam filters are in the way, we have created a separate email address which doesn't have filtering. This address is published on the FreeBSD Security Website [1]. It's somewhat obfuscated but if/when this address starts to receive spam the address will be changed. The current address will always be published on the FreeBSD Security Website. It's annoying to have to do this, but with the current levels of spam we risk real issues getting lost in the noise.
