Re: Email Client

this is a cut/paste of an email. One of hundreds daily that I get. Never do I get an 'unsubscribe' set of text. I have searched all of 'freebsd' for such a place to unsubscribe. Neither can I 'create an account' using my email as it says that it belongs to some one else. So i can only assume that my identity has been hacked by some one in freebsd or using freebsd, and is spamming my email server. I would just love to be free of 'freebsd'. Since there is no 'central' authority at freebsd, I can only appeal to the 'many', hoping there is 'heart' in someone to find resolution, so I can be 'free' of 'freebsd'. God    Bless.

It gets more interesting.  pkg upgrade doesn't work. No idea what is causing the problem or how to fix it.
