I'm tending to filter on the Sender: header, but the problem is that
the contents seem to periodically change. For example chat's sender
has just flipped from owner-chat@freebsd.org to
owner-freebsd-chat@freebsd.org. Both chat and isp seem to do this on
semi-regular intervals. If it's not possible to keep these fields
constant due to the software in use (or if the changes are deliberate
to serve some other purpose) perhaps an X-Mailing-List: freebsd-chat
header or something would be useful?
On a completely separate note, I'd just like to congratulate the
freebsd team on the user-friendliness and quality of the CD-ROM
install procedure. I've been running a machine on 2.0.5 for a while
now and although I've been subscribing to the CDs since the end of
last year I've only just had a chance to use one of them (2.2.2) for
an install. The 2.0.5 system had been installed off floppies so by
comparison I was amazed and delighted at the simplicity of the
procedure for the current release. Cheers!
