We have some closed lists: Some lists that are aliases for other lists. The list "test" is an alias for "freebsd-test". If you tried to subscribe a list of this type, please subscribe to "freebsd-current" instead. If you have any questions about the policy of the list owner, please contact "current-approval@FreeBSD.ORG". Why does one have to subscribe to "freebsd-current@freebsd.org" yet can post to just "current@freebsd.org"? -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today? Linux: Where do you want to go tomorrow?
