As far as I can >tell spam to this list has been from non-subscribers. cygwin@cygwin.com is the email address for reporting all manner of problems. Telling people that they must subscribe before they send a general question or bug report is not a good idea. It also isn't a good idea for gdb, gcc, sourcenav, etc. for the same reason. Cygwin is not unusual in this respect. All of the sources.redhat.com mailing lists get spam. We block A LOT of it already but some gets through. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
