I contacted my Internet service provider, Insight Cable, about the problem, and they need a copy of any message that bounces, so they can see what went awry.

So I can't just ignore the problem.

Maybe I should resend the message to postmaster at freebsd.org instead of freebsd-questions-owner at freebsd.org?

This problem relates to FreeBSD emailing lists in general, not just one list such as questions@ .

Now I see at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo ,

If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact mailman at freebsd.org.

There was also a line in the probe message :

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

So now the choice is between mailman at freebsd.org and postmaster at freebsd.org ; I sent to mailman.
