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 postmas...@freebsd.org instead of freebsd-questions-ow...@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 mail...@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 mail...@freebsd.org and postmas...@freebsd.org ; I sent to mailman.
