Try searching -chat or other lists from www.freebsd.org/search - this 
has been discussed _many_ times.

Basically, the most popular reason for the freebsd.org server not 
accepting your e-mail is due to your mail server not having a 
reverse-dns name. If this is the case with your ISP's server, then you 
should complain because it is a broken setup.

So long as reverse-dns works, freebsd.org will more then likely accept 
your mail.
