They posted in a previous thread about this, saying they couldn't unsubscribe under their address, ie. somebody is relaying mail to them. They were told they need to provide headers so postmaster can determine what address is subscribed. They never replied (at least on list). I'm not an expert about such things but I think without their cooperation there's no real way to tell who the relay is. -- Rob Farmer > > Jonathan > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
