I am presuming that your suggestions are meant for the ftp-master end, 
which I have no control over.  Other sites are doing fine getting stuff 
from my end - the CTM creating computer - so I suspect that it is not a 
problem with a firewall at my end.

I copied the message to peter at freebsd.org, because he is the person the 
error message from ftp-master is copied to.  But is there someone else 
responsible for freebsd-master  I could contact about this?

I am copying this time to hubs at freebsd as well.  Maybe they can help.
