I hope that this will enable the vast majority of who are blocked by ORBS to post here. It won't help, of course, if you use an email address that is other than the one you used to subscribe. You can figure out the email address that you used to subscribe by looking at the "List-Unsubscribe: " field in the headers of messages that you receive from the cygwin mailing list. This is what mine looks like: List-Unsubscribe: Translating the 'cgf=cygnus.com' part to 'cgf@cygnus.com', you can see the address that I used to subscribe. This is the address that will be used to determine if I should be allowed to post. If the mailing list software doesn't see this email address when I send email (and it doesn't in my case), then my email will still be subject to spam checks. (I could also, of course, unsubscribe to the cygwin mailing list by sending email to cygwin-unsubscribe-cgf=cygnus.com@sources.redhat.com, if I wanted to.) So, I hope that this helps people who are frustrated by their inability to post to sources.redhat.com mailing list. If you are still having problems and you are absolutely, positively certain that you are subscribed to the cygwin mailing list and that you are using the email address listed in the List-Unsubscribe: header, then send email to cygwin-owner@sources.redhat.com with the *complete* text of a bounce message. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
