The real problem is, it also bounces every email with a company disclaimer about intentions and original addressees. Well, the original addressee is cygwin at cygwin dot com, which is a public mailing list, readable even from Alpha Centauri (with 4 years delay). This policy is OK for most FOSS projects, but Cygwin should be an exception. I think Cygwin is used most by 3PPs within big companies where everybody _must_ use Windows and those disclaimers are always attached to outgoing mail. If you are a free and sane person, attracted to unixy stuff, you'd probably use Linux. Yes, I've read the posting instructions, and I know I should convince my employer to remove the disclaimers. What chance do you think I have to convince a 20000-employee company, where central IT is not even in my country? They also restrict access to private email from the office. I know, I should leave them and/or buy a smartphone for emailing. :-) But my point is: the mailing list is cut off from its most important audience.
