RE: Problem with rubbish in my mailbox

I am experiencing a problem with my mailbox. Each day I am getting 25-30 messages entitled "Obscene content in cygwin file". I have had a look at a few of them and they appear to contain junk. I am wondering how the problem can be rectified. Perhaps a new list entitled cygwin-junk could be created?
