The ports@ list is now subscriber-post only

The ports at FreeBSD.org (aka freebsd-ports@) mailing list now requires you to  
subscribe to the list before posting. This brings us two important benefits:

* This should cut back tremendously on spam coming through the list.

* Users are more likely to find better answers to their questions: The  
first three times a question is asked, it gets detailed replies. The fourth  
through nth times usually get a one sentence reply.

This ONLY affects sending messages to the list. It does NOT affect:
- Receiving messages or replies
- Viewing the archives (https://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html)
- Searching the archives

If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to ask!
