Do not take this personally but I find it exceedingly disturbing that you sh=
ould use the ml as a documentation storage space.

You really should store this kind of information internally, such as a comme=
nt in your pf.conf and/or a wiki.

Additionally, you may find the correct syntax for rdr rules in man pf.conf, s=
o you'll always have an example handy.=
