Please DO NOT FORWARD spam and related material to this (or any) list.

Then other people will lazily top-post and quote the whole bloody lot 
again, and again .. as just amply demonstrated.

If you have any sort of problem with spam, or this sort of issue - that 
comes up here repeatedly - the correct thing to do is to forward the 
mail in question - including absolutely ALL of the mail headers - to 
postmaster at freebsd.org

It is pointless, and annoying, to say "will someone pleae unsubscribe 
so-and-so from the list."  Postmaster is responsible for _scores_ of 
lists, and certainly hasn't time to read this one.  Direct mail to 
postmaster@, with sufficient detail to actually reveal the problem, 
usually has good results in my experience.

Deleting all the crap, at the bottom of your (digest) message was:

If you download that attachment you than have all the headers needed by 
postmaster@ to see the problem delivery.  Hint: the message was actually

And as you'll see, went through a very circuitous path, via some very 
screwy looking servers .. note this one:

X-SMTP-MAILFROM: 
<srs0=hysflox2=r5=freebsd.org=owner-freebsd-questions at tiscali.co.uk>

Seems tiscali.co.uk is in the mix; owner-freebsd-questions at freebsd.org 
was the original sender, so that one at least is forged.

I'll do you the favour of copying this mail to postmaster at freebsd.org 
but in future please don't spam the list with this sort of stuff, ta!
