Just subscribed to FreeBSD-Chat.. I figure I might as well go for the gold,
already get 30+ messages a day traffic from freebsd.org. :-)

What are you using for mail filtering on your frontend? I saw something
called Spam Stopper or Spam Buster a while ago that ISpace was running on
their Unix box..

Silly questions have their priority I guess.  I just don't see Juno users
as BSD users.. Maybe it's just me...
