I'll drop the thread now, but 2 things: - somebody 'rejected' my mail in a completely incompetent manner which made me think that the mail was rejected by stable@freebsd.org, which is was not... note that the return path is <stable@freebsd.org> which is going to cause problems. - Blars had nothing to do with this, as far as I can tell. - The mail actually came from mail.methos.net, I've included headers. As it is a microsoft server, I assume it has nothing to do with FreeBSD. I have no idea who it actually came from because it says From: <stable@freebsd.org>. Hopefully somebody here recognizes the methos.net address, otherwise you might consider removing them from the list.

This "consulting rate" BS is the only known mechanism of appeal to get off of his own list, which is so all-inclusive that it is useless for actual email filtering. (His IP granularity is generally /24). I honestly don't know why the man doesn't go to an ask-first system if he's that aggressive about it, but there it is. And I can't ask him why, either, as I'm in one of those /24s. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
