I have to apologize here because I just found the email from postmaster
sitting in my outbound mail queue.  So the OP only had the multiple
off-topic bounce messages as a clue that something was wrong.  They
never received my specific directive to send the email to the
cygwin-xfree mailing list.

So the harshness of my reply was unwarranted.  That will teach me to
double check for this type of thing in the future.
