RE: X, OpenDX and cygwin

["Suhaib Siddiqi" <Ssiddiqi@InspirePharm.Com>]

If your ISP server is listed in ORBS database as an OpenRelay
SMTP server and being abused by hackers/spammers, then Cygwin lists
would reject the mails originating from your server.  This is being done to
keep spamers away from Cygwin mailing lists.

The XFree port is not complete yet.  This a work in progress.
TheMI/X will not work because it uses X11R5 libs which no one
in the world uses any more, at not on Windows.  Beside MI/X is no more
free.  You need to pay $25.00 per copy to have outdated X-server
with stdin/stdout craps ;-)
