My main Email address starts with mail@ and so I tried to report bugs to the bts with this address in From: . I never got my bugreports into the bts and I really tried to figure out, why. Reading all the stuff at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting however did not point me to the issue. Only recently I discovered, that apparently debian's mailing list system rejects applications from addresses starting with mail@ - actually, it complains back and states, it wouldn't accept such addresses. So I wondered, if this is the reason, why my mails to the bts did not make it through - and submitted this bug with another From: header. I understand the reasoning behind the measure of filtering addresses mail@ out, but it would be nice, if the bts would sent out a bounce like the mailing list system - or if the mails sent out by daemons are just too much to bounce them all, state this filtering practice at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.
