I'm in China. Everybody in China wants to book freebsd mailing list has the same following problem. I hope the admin of this list read this and maybe we can work the problem out. China is a spam making country, there is no doubt about it, since i'm Chinese and i live here. The major reason for that is there is no law forbids so. It's not hard to find quite many of the spams from China is not the work of Chinese (they advertise foreign stuff), the spammer just register a mail address in China and do the spaming, in order to escape from their local law. For this reason, almost all major (i don't know an expection) Chinese mail provider is on the forbid list of freebsd mailling list (and many other mailing lists). I tried 263.net, 21cn.com.cn, peoplemail.com.cn, and they all only have permissen of recieving the list and cannot post. Now i have to post from hotmail, this is very troublesome. I do evern start to use a paied address webmaster@cies2k.org, this address is unique, since i'm the owner of the domain cies2k.org, no one spams from it. but it sill cannot post. Is the mail server's ip of cies2k.org banned (this server also serves other mail addresses) or freebsd list bans whatever from china? Maybe banning an ip address is more practical then the domain name. I'm on a subnet of Chinese inter network called cernet, which has very poor connection to oversea. It would be much better if i can send email from native mail provider. Please do not reply to this address, use zhangweiwu@private.21cn.com instead, as you can find in mail header. _________________________________________________________________ 享用世界上最大的 Web 电子邮件系统 —— MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com/cn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
