If no-one replied to the posts, there wouldn't be so much of a problem! Instead, now I've had to waste my time deleting 10+ emails on the irrelevant topic, rather than the original 1. If it is nothing relating to the list, and it is obviously spam, then delete it without replying! <grumble> Thank you. 30/03/2001 19:08:20, "Jason DiCioccio" <geniusj@bluenugget.net> wrote: >*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* >http://docs.freebsd.org/ > >Look at mailing list section, that's as close are you're going to get. >(Geocrawler probably archives it too) > >Cheers, >-JD- > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "oldfart@gtonet" <oldfart@gtonet.net> >To: "freebsd-security@FreeBSD.
