When a list member has problems with the list that require contacting a human list owner/operator, what is the address to send to?
I received a probe message regarding messages to me that bounced, might have been spams that slipped by the list's filters.
I was advised in the message that the address was freebsd-questions-owner at freebsd.org, and I sent my message to that address, got back a message from
owner-moderators at freebsd.org with the subject
Your message to moderators awaits moderator approval
Quoting the message,
Your mail to 'moderators' with the subject
Re: freebsd-questions mailing list probe message
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
Post by non-member to a members-only list
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision. If you would like to cancel

PLEASE NOTE! If you would like to post freely to the list, please
subscribe first. If you post from multiple addresses, you can
subscribe each address and go into the options page and select 'no

delay in the future.
Sorry for the hassle, but certain immature people made this necessary.

So did I post to the wrong address, were the instructions in error regarding freebsd-questions-owner at freebsd.org?
Should that have been owner-freebsd-questions at freebsd.org ?
Sorry to have to bother this list with such an administrative issue.
