Let's all say it together "Subscribers to a mailing list are not subjected to spam blocking". Your email was blocked because you are apparently sending email from an account that is not subscribed to cygwin-xfree. You can also subscribe to a global allow list which allow you to post to sources.redhat.com mailing lists without receiving mailing list traffic. In your case, apparently you were misled by a faulty message telling you how to unblock yourself. I apologize for the miscommunication caused by the software that I wrote. It was my fault and I have corrected the error. However, AFAICT, the bounce message that you received accurately gave you the email address to which you could send questions about your being blocked. You didn't avail yourself of that address. Instead, you are now "very upset" because a computer determined that your email is spam. Had, you sent email explaining your problem to the correct mailing list (in this case cygwin-owner at cygwin dot com) I would have fixed the problem hours ago instead of when I got around to reading the cygwin-xfree mailing list where *surprise* I get to see YA spam complaint. It's a safe bet that I can't go a day without someone either complaining about spam or complaining about the spam blocker. Anyway, I've added the email address of your last blocked message to the sources.redhat.com global allow list. I've also redirected your last blocked email back to this mailing list. Have a nice day. cgf
