I've just crossed my fingers and set up the cygwin and cygwin-apps mailing lists to use some revamped spam blocking software that I've written for sources.redhat.com.
I won't go into details of what is new because I'm still working on things. Basically, for now, I have revamped stuff to make it easier to customize in the future. However, I wanted to let people know about this for the not-too-unlikely case of problems occurring where mail is blocked inappropriately. I've already seen some email from Robert Collins stall and I've fixed that. I have also seen an inexplicable blocking of email from the gmane newsgroups that I didn't have enough debugging output to understand. So, if you do see any irregularity with the mailing list please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] DO NOT send me personal email about this. An irregularity would be email that is blocked when you don't think it should be or email that doesn't show up after two hours without any indication that it has been blocked. Remember, if you get a bounce message, please READ IT and try to COMPREHEND IT before sending email. Most of the messages that we get at [EMAIL PROTECTED] are from people who haven't bothered to actually read the words in the bounce messages. I've gotten into several delightful dialogs with people who just can't read. Please don't be one of those people if you can help it.
