Is there a reason that you cannot just use the address specified in
the email headers of messages distributed by this forum. This is a
snippet from the headers from your message.

List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>,  <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions>;
List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>
List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>,  <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe>

You will notice that <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> is also listed as
the correct address on <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>;

The address: <questions@freebsd.org> does not appear there anywhere.
