Hum... The > cause seems to be the spam on the cygwin list. :-( This is not uncommon. Note that SpamCop says it should not be used in production: This blocking list is somewhat experimental and should not be used in a production environment where legitimate email must be delivered. It is growing more stable and is used by many large sites now. However, SpamCop is aggressive and often errs on the side of blocking mail ... There's little we can do if end-users block sourceware based on faulty data. Perhaps we should unsubscribe list members who forward mailing list spam to rbl sites. We do the best we can to block spam, but some of it is just going to get through and adding sourceware to the rbl sites doesn't help anyone. --Angela
