You need to take the "Message-ID" header of the message that you're replying to, and put it into the "In-Reply-To" header of your response. That's what a standard mail client does when you reply to a message. The "In-Reply-To" header is used by clients and webmailers to identify the thread and the order of messages within that thread. I've never used Gmail or Yahoo, so I don't know if they provide a way to manually set the "In-Reply-To" header. If they don't you're out of luck, I'm afraid. By the way, I'm in a similar situation: I'm not subscribed to the lists, but I read them with a news client via an NNTP gateway. That gateway is one-way, i.e. I cannot post follow-ups to the news groups. Instead I use the reply-by- mail function of the news client. This works well, because the NNTP gateway sets the "Reply-To" back to the list's mail address (unless there already was a Reply-To header in the original mail, which is kept), and I configured my news client to copy the Message-ID into an In-Reply-To header, so it works as expected.

Is there any way around this? If you are reading the mailing lists via the FreeBSD website (http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/freebsd-questions.html) you can use the "Raw E-Mail" link of a posting to fetch a copy and incorporate it into your mail client. Two common mail formats are pine mail (one file per folder), and MH mail (one file per message). I use Sylpheed which uses MH mail format so its quite easy. I created a folder called "Mail/web-list" and fetch the mail directly to it. The trick is to use the next numerical message number, in this example "114": cd ~/Mail/web-list fetch -R -o 114 'http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=422834+0+current/freebsd-questions+raw' It is then possible to just use Sylpheed normally and click on "Reply to All". The mail will be properly threaded for the mailing lists. I've not used the "one file per folder" type of mail client in a very long time but I would think that just appending the new mail to the end would suffice. You will need to investigate how your particular mail client operates and what format it uses, but what you want to do is possible. I would recommend backing up your mail before experimenting and using the test mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

In addition to the other suggestions, you can also check if the list is getting messages by looking at the list archives on http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ As well as the other web-accessible list archives there is also gmane which seems to carry all of the FreeBSD lists, is accessible via usenet or http, and allows you to read, search and post. gmane is great! http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.questions/ -- http://freebsdwiki.org/ - Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0xBF15490B pgpwtC7p5aAoX.pgp Description: PGP signature

Do you know if > there is a problem at their end, or has perhaps my ISP decided they are > all spam? Well, there's no obvious problem with the FreeBSD servers -- plenty of e-mail traffic flowing. There might be a problem sending to your system specifically, in which case you can check and see if your address has been suspended via MailMan: Go here: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions and then type in your e-mail address in the very last field on that page, and click 'Unsubscribe or edit options'. On the next page, enter your password (you should get a monthly reminder of what your it is) and click 'login'. You'll be able to verify and modify your subscription status from the page you get to. Sending messages to your e-mail address will be disabled if your bounce score goes above 5.0 or if there are configuration errors with the mail servers you are trying to use. If it's your ISP bouncing the e-mail then get a better ISP.

Check your subscription status with the mailman interface on lists.freebsd.org; perhaps your mail delivery was bouncing and your subscription was suspended.

FreeBSD mailing lists
Hi! I have received no messages at all from freebsd-questions, or one or two of the other FreeBSD mailing lists, for about 2 days. Do you know if there is a problem at their end, or has perhaps my ISP decided they are all spam? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Please also don't post separate messages to different mailing lists (this message was sent to FreeBSD-hardware as well, where it is off topic). Please also do not send "test" messages to FreeBSD-questions. Use FreeBSD-test for that purpose. There are thousands of people on FreeBSD-questions. Each of these messages gets delivered to each of them. The result is that you will annoy people and lower your chances of getting a useful reply.

Try 'dig' dig www.foo.com @123.123.123.123 tells you how www.foo.com resolves at 123.123.123.123. Assuming that 123.123.123.123 lets you use its named. The trick now is to find a named which lets you use it that way. A lot fo them do. Dw To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Hi, I can't send email to the FreeBSD lists because my DNS configuration is hosed--the bit from my ISP, not my own bind :) Anyway, is there a site that could tell me what the nameservers "outside" my network see for my domain?
