What about cygwin.com? Is that a more-or-less permanent alias for
sources.redhat.com? I've always wondered why you always referred to the
redhat address, when the cygwin one seems to be used more (it appears
you sent your announcement to cyg-ann@cygwin.com for instance), and is
more specific to the project, and besides, it's shorter...

Just curious I guess,

We've kept the old "sourceware.cygnus.com" host name around for two
years now but it is going away very soon.

So, if you are using the name sourceware.cygnus.com for ftp, email,
rsync, ssh, web, etc., please change over to using sources.redhat.com
ASAP.

Just to be clear, you'll still continue to receive email from
sources.redhat.com after the host name has been deactivated but if you
try to *send* email to an address like cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com,
your email will bounce.

Who's "always" referring to the redhat address?  Most (all?) of my email
refers to cygwin.com.  The announcement *itself* used cygwin.com as the
return address.com.  The help at the bottom of every message refers to
cygwin.com.  The messages that I send to cygwin-announce mention
cygwin.com.

The cygwin.com alias for sources.redhat.com has nothing to do with
"sourceware.cygnus.com".
