Unfortunately Todd sourceware^H^H^H^Hs.redhat.com is a haven for spam e-mail harvesters. We do munge addresses in the e-mail header in the archives but in reality all a spammer needs to do is subscribe to the list. There's not much we can do about it, especially when taking the mere number of subscribers into account. I must mention that Cygwin + SpamAssassin == 99.9% spam free. :-) Elfyn -- Elfyn McBratney, EMCB | http://www.nongnu.org/wwwauth/ http://www.emcb.co.uk | http://www.emcb.co.uk/webauth/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | wwwauth-users AT nongnu DOT org -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
