Someone eventually notified the overseers mailing list about this. Someone there *should* have been able to block the messsages from arriving. I don't know if that is what happened or if things were fixed on the sending end but sending email to either postmaster or overseers will contact the right people. You can also hop on freenode and contact people on the #overseers channel. cgf -- 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/
