Benjamin,

	thank you for taking the trouble to work with David to send
	your email to the freebsd-test list.   i have found why your
	emails are not making it to the lists.  your emails are
	multipart MIME emails.  the first part is "text/plain".  the
	second part is "text/html".  we filter email that contains
	"text/html" Content-Type: due to the quantity of spam that
	contains the "Content-Type: text/html".

	i'll remove our filtering based upon "Content-Type: text/html"
	and see how much spam we get afterward.  it is possible that
	our other anti-spam methods have rendered this one
	unnecessary.

Jonathan
