Yes, the OP may be a genuine seeker after truth, but my money's on troll. Agreed. But something doesn't smell right... The name, the address, the introduced name, the Islamic connotations; weird. The english sounded like some english teenagers, so thats no clue. The islamic name and the claim that the icon was offensive is the only aspect of this email that could ring true. There is more to this than meets the eye here, I'd say. Seeker of truth? Doubt it... no offense to those of the islamic (or others as well - christian specifically included) persuasion at all - this directed at the originator of the message, but truth is a matter of perspective. The sooner _all_ get that, the sooner life can move on and gain stability. This is just to clarify my comment - not to start a flame or further digression. Leave it alone and wait and see if nothing further happens... then we'll know whats what. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

PS Yes I realise I should upgrade that 6.4 box to 8.2 (as headers made it through the more modern SMTP of list server), but my local tech. constraints etc delay me ). Sounds like it's working as a decent spam filter to me. What setting to I have to change to make it do that again? ;) Daniel T. Staal --- This email copyright the author.
