"Returned Mail" message from ISP

I tried to subscribe to the (North America) Capital Area BSD user group, but the description on https://www.freebsd.org/usergroups.html#north-america gives a mailto link (mailto:misc+subscribe@capbug.org) that bounces back, stating that the e-mail account doesn't exist. It looks like they are using Google Groups now, anyway (http://www.capbug.org/contact).

I've attached the bounce-back message from my ISP's mail server for that e-mail address.

I was able to reproduce the same message when attempting to send an e-mail to misc+subscribe@capbug.org.

I have attached a diff for the FreeBSD doc team to consider. My proposed change includes one link to CapBUG's Google Groups page and a second link to CapBUG's website.

I am aware the website link is already available in the <url></url> tags. However, a duplicate website link appears to be common among other user group description entries.
