This is by far the easiest way for a user to handle posts from multiple addresses or posting from a redirector list. (I have one mailing list to which I'm subscribed under five different addresses. Only one recieves posts from the list.) -Pat --==========3631359384========== Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9a8S6ncYNbLD8wuMRAlJHAKDFyXYZ2eyIwEaZ/ETlTkz/ebpj3ACgnqUI Lp/PdiVQEqsmpi4Rutib5fc= =PFy0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==========3631359384==========-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
