Cygnus is concerned about losing mail from our *customers* who might be using
a clueless ISP.  In the end, it is our customers that make it possible for
myself and others to donate time and energy to egcs, gdb, binutils, ecos,
java, etc etc.  Our customers are damn important to us.

Cygnus *WILL* be installing anti-spam software as well as a more list friendly
MTA to reduce lag times on the lists.  However I can not make promises for when
those facilities will be in place.  It is being done by some Cygnus folks on a
*VOLUNTEER* basis for the egcs project.  Not our regular sysadmin group as part
of their sysadmin duties.

How about checking the facts first?  It would be greatly appreciated.
