However, in the back-quoted message (i.e. not in the header) the was the string ``cc:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'' and guess what?...this crap piece of software picked that up and when it sent out it's spam it CC'd it to -questions!!! Anyway, Martijn Koster has 'phoned them and posted the reponse.... I just phoned up a Mr. Peter Lennon, who runs the IT department at that school, just to see if he was aware what was going on. He explained that their internet access was recently reconfigured, and now under control of a contractor running a firewall upstream from him. It's their naive filter that is causing the grief. They've been made aware of it, and are working on a solution. So, fixing this situation properly is underway but may take a little time. In the meantime he has asked for his address to be removed from the list, a request I believe Doug White is dealing with. He asked me to just tell the list, so everyone knows the problem is known, being addressed, and not his fault.
