Actually, I doubt that you are actually seeing them arrive "here".
You're probably receiving random messages from some infected machine which is
putting a cygwin at cygwin dot com in the header but isn't really coming
from cygwin dot com.
If you can actually find a virus infected message in the archives, then
please post a url here. Otherwise, you're most likely just experiencing
the standard behavior of a virus which is sending out email from an
infected machine.
I did receive a few messages from someone in the earthlink domain and
think I managed to figure out that person's identity. But they were
sending individual email to individual people not to the cygwin mailing
list, AFAICT.
