Good idea. In the thread on -questions another reason was 
mentioned: Mails with a Message-ID ending in "@localhost>" are 
rejected, too (Error 552: content rejected). Pretty severe problem 
IMHO, Pegasus Mail generates such Message-IDs and I had to set up 
my mail server to remove the line.

I suggest whoever updates the FAQ contacts postmaster@freebsd.org 
and gets a list of all restrictions in place.

Oh, and is there a good reason why messages with a subject of 
"subscribe" are not filtered from the lists automatically?
