Sorry about that; trying to diagnose, debug, and fix failures and content issues with cygport ... announce; hacking without any real background knowledge of SMTP, Perl, or cygport; still trying to track down issues with generated message content: sorry about those that made it thru; I'll do my best to ensure future tests are directed elsewhere. -- Take care.
