A less disruptive approach would be just a) switch this list from anybody-can-post to subscribers-only, at least for the time being, and then b) put the FAQ pointers about FAST_CWD prominently into the auto-reply for non-subscribed users. At the very least this would have the benefit of not breaking the continuity of the mailing list archives. All this based on two assumptions I cannot vouch for: 1) that ezmlm even has the requisite functionality 2) that totally uncontrolled access to the primry mailing list is not on someone's list of non-negotiable requirements -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
