Start by not doing sending email anymore as root (the address I am
replying to is the address that shows as your "From" address, to all
members of the list, including would-be crackers.

Doing anything Internet related as root isn't a very good idea.  Create
yourself a user account (man adduser) and use this from now on for all of
your daily activities.  Don't use root for anything but system
administration and testing.

Anyways, try sending email (as a user, not root!) to:

majordomo@FreeBSD.org

...with:

subscribe freebsd-security

...in the body of the message.  It will send back a confirmation notice
with some security codes that you much Email back to majordomo with.  Just
follow the directions.

See you on the list.

Just fyi - All posts that go through the lists get a footer like this
attached, so at least you know your message went to everyone in the list.
