   You are not the only one with this problem.  I am subscribed,
  from the same address, to about half a dozen Freebsd lists;
  questions@ is the only one that insists I confirm my subscription
  (roughly once a month).
   Attempts to work with the Freebsd mailing-lists admins have
  been far from satisfactory

Thanks to all of you.

I'm just happy to know that I am not the only one having this problem with
freebsd-questions, and never ever with many other (FreeBSD or other)
lists since years.

 What is their operating mode ?
 
 What can I do if they do not require to break my (inclusive) firewall

 Thank you in advance for any advice.

I had this problem with Insight Cable using synacor.com as spam filter, and the 
user could not disable that filter.

Some good messages were filtered out, including messages, some spam and some 
nonspam, from FreeBSD emailing lists.

I switched to by old ATT/Yahoo bellsouth.net account.

Since Insight Cable was acquired by Time Warner Cable, that problem no longer 
exists.

Worst thing that happens is that Subject line is preceded by [SPAM], and that 
has happened with some legitimate messages.

Probably, but without the details it's not possible to give specific advise.
Try talking to postmas...@freebsd.org and your local postmaster about the 
bounces.

 What is their operating mode ?

I'd imagine it's a problem on your side, because list traffic is working fine 
for most.

 What can I do if they do not require to break my (inclusive) firewall
 which seems to work fine and which is in place since ages ?

If other email works, then it's not likely to be your firewall.
