Ok, well that message forged as if from you was also delightfully cc'd 
to postmaster at freebsd.org, so David has at least one direct copy to work 
with and should be able to block the source, as far as them reaching the 
freebsd list/s anyway.

Other participants may still have to deal with off-list copies, possibly 
forged as coming from:

Received: from dusk.parklogic.com (allmail.0b2.net [64.38.11.26])

Thanks to all, but let's not discuss this further on freebsd-questions?

cheers, Ian
