I have tried a few things, but every now an then > messages go unfiltered.. 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.
