The only email addresses I can see in the announcements for sng and stunnel are the To and From addresses, which are of course present in every announcement.

Your announcements seem to contain extra MIME characters which sometimes confuse the raw email in body of message check and allow the message to sneak through. Thanks. I think I see what you're talking about, although I have no idea why they're there. Extra spaces that got converted for some reason I guess. So are you saying that the text we're supposed to add at the bottom of our announcements has changed? If so, can we please update the example at http://cygwin.com/setup.html#announcement, and notify this list? Andrew.

I'm wondering if the raw mail address filter isn't a bit overagressive. Am I mistaken or has the traffic on the cygwin ML gone down a lot lately?

Am I mistaken or has the traffic on the cygwin ML gone down a lot lately? I thought it was obvious that I spend some time every day dealing with spam, bounced email, and other irritating sysadmin activities on sourceware. There are a lot of vain attempts to send html based email and email with raw email addresses to the cygwin list but most of them eventually result in either 1) a why is your system so mean to me??? message to postmaster or 2) email to the cygwin list. The end result of 1) is usually correctly formatted email to the cygwin list. In any event, this is not really a subject for this list. You could send email to postmaster if you have concerns but I'm pretty sure he will tell you the same thing. cgf

But if there's something I'm doing wrong I may as well know about it. Thanks, Andrew.

This morning I sent 4 package update announcements to cygwin-announce. Two of them (socat, lftp) were posted, but the other two (stunnel, sng) haven't shown up yet. Meanwhile, other later announcements have been posted. Are the missing messages held up in the queue? Anything I need to do about that? Or, should I resend them? Thanks, Andrew.
