Good idea. In the thread on -questions another reason was mentioned: Mails with a Message-ID ending in "@localhost>" are rejected, too (Error 552: content rejected). Pretty severe problem IMHO, Pegasus Mail generates such Message-IDs and I had to set up my mail server to remove the line. I suggest whoever updates the FAQ contacts postmaster@freebsd.org and gets a list of all restrictions in place. Oh, and is there a good reason why messages with a subject of "subscribe" are not filtered from the lists automatically? -- MfG, Johann To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
