Its a wonderful attempt! Let me add one thing, just say what you want
to say in a very understandable mannor:
``Mail sent from your personal computer or networked computer will not
be processed unless you have a legal (registered) domain name. Just
making up one for your internal network does not qualify as a legal
(registered) domain name. For email to be accepted at hub.FreeBSD.org
you will be required to use the email address from your ISP or another
email address from a qualified domain. In plain english, if you
cannot accept mail to your computer with (whoever@example.com) then
your email may most likly bounce as a result.''
What do you think, not perfect, but build on that ;) Let me know the
outcome of your decision.
