Sheesh. I'm not sure where you have been living all your life but junk mail is a part of being on the internet. I think you need to change your attitude or you'll be winding up in lots of blacklists. Anyone can subscribe to most of the FreeBSD mailing lists. Once they have subscribed, they will receive copies of all the traffic on the list - this includes whatever addresses posters have included in their messages. The project can't accept responsibility for what list subscribers so with the information they receive. It is up to you to protect your e-mail using whatever anti-spam measures you like. --=20 Peter Jeremy --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGVeis/opHv/APuIcRAkdvAJ4rzXvw8j38ixXwTMXMtvZBZv0d7ACbBWBC yxnofahZ2EvqTHxRSbkf160= =5E5J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c--
