Subject: NetBSD.ORG mailing list filtering

This is a message to let you all know that, as a result of an off-topic
post to a NetBSD.ORG mailing list, which contained private correspondence,
Theo de Raadt is now being filtered from all NetBSD.ORG mailing lists.
Given his history of off-topic posts, we feel that there is nothing else
that we can do. We regret only that this is necessary.
In addition, we have begun filtering all mail sent through an anonymous
remailer that Mr. de Raadt is currently using to spam mailing lists
at FreeBSD.ORG.
Attached below are three pieces of e-mail that all appeared on
publicly-available mailing lists:
(a) The post by Mr. de Raadt which caused him to be added
to the filter.
(b) A post from Jordan Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.ORG> regarding
their decision to filter all mail traffic from Mr. de Raadt.
(c) A post from Jordan Hubbard, forwarding a mail from
Mr. de Raadt, clearly containing a threat to repeatedly
post via an anonymous remailer.
If you have any questions regarding this decision, please send them
to core@NetBSD.ORG.
Thank you.

In reply to a COMPLETELY TECHNICAL PIECE of mail to Chris, I get this.
if you have garbage like this to say, you learn to delete your mail,
you don't send insults.
I'm setting up for anon remailers at the moment. You guys are going
to learn an important lesson here. If flaming is all you can do,
then you should shut your mouths.

I guess we've reached the limit with you. Your personal feud with
Poul-Henning Kamp, or any other person on this planet for that matter,
has *nothing to do with this mailing list* and your consistent and
willful disregard for its intended charter now forces me to have you
barred. What obviously cannot be accomplished by self-restraint will
now have be accomplished with PERL, and what a pity that a few lines
of PERL have to serve as a substitute for emotional maturity and just
a little common sense.

I love this. What are we going to do with someone like this? Is it
going to take the concerted effort of several thousand people to
protect the FreeBSD lists from this kind of harassment? I really don't
see many other alternatives, though I'm open to suggestions.
Anyway, this is just a little pre-warning. If we get a flood of anon
mail in the next 10 minutes I'm just going to shut the mailing lists
down for awhile until the postmasters at various intervening domains
are contacted (along with whomever in Canada it seems to make sense to
contact in cases like this). I can at least stop the spam from
reaching your mailboxes, and if we "go off the air" for awhile then
the forwarded message below is why. Just FYI. We greatly regret any
possible inconvenience, naturally, and will do what we can to resolve
this foolish situation quickly.

and it isn't going to work.
