Actually, I doubt that you are actually seeing them arrive "here".

You're probably receiving random messages from some infected machine which is
putting a cygwin at cygwin dot com in the header but isn't really coming
from cygwin dot com.

If you can actually find a virus infected message in the archives, then
please post a url here.  Otherwise, you're most likely just experiencing
the standard behavior of a virus which is sending out email from an
infected machine.

I did receive a few messages from someone in the earthlink domain and
think I managed to figure out that person's identity.  But they were
sending individual email to individual people not to the cygwin mailing
list, AFAICT.
