If you don't want to argue the point then don't make the point. Let me say it again -- no mailing list on sources.redhat.com rejects source code. There is a huge traffic in sending source code to mailing lists at this site. There is, however, a spam blocker in operation. If it rejects a message due to a false positive, it is trivially easy to bypass that block. That does not, of course, stop people from failing to read the instructions on how to unblock themselves and/or being mortally offended by the block. >>>Some programs fail because they expect the BOT signal to disappear. >>Cygwin programs? > >You should know better than to ask such a question!

You tell someone who is trying to help resolve your problem that they should "know better" and then send "thanks and regards". -- Christopher Faylor Cygwin Project Leader Red Hat, Inc. -- 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/
