I am going to reconfigure the bug tracking system so that any bounces of the messages it sends out will be discarded. The level of misconfiguration and general braindamage has become so large that this has become necessary; in the past, I would investigate and chase up people/sites sending broken mail. However, nowadays I get about 5 of these bounces a day (the number varies wildly), and I have _never_ had a positive response from the system admins I've contacted in this way.
In the future, therefore, all bounced mail will be thrown away. This includes: * Undeliverable acks to new bug reports. * Undeliverable copies of bug reports sent to maintainers. * Messages intended for debian-* lists but bounced because of a problem with the listserver. * Undeliverable `this bug has been closed' messages to original reporters, maintainers or closers. * Undeliverable replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail. * Undeliverable messages sent to maintainers to inform them of status changes regarding their bug reports. * Undeliverable mail resulting from X-Debian-CC headers. The messages whose bounces are thrown away _will_ be displayed on the HTML pages in the usual way. If you think you ought to have got a mail check the HTML pages to see if it was sent. If they don't record it as having been sent then please check that you understand what's going on, and report the problem if there is one. If they show that a message was sent, but none was received by you, please check your mail configuration (pay particular attention to the address that the HTML pages say the message was sent to) and contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you do not find the cause. If there is demand I may arrange for the barfmail to be made available in the HTML pages as a third page for each report instead of just throwing it away. I can't get to master at the moment to make this change, so in the meantime I'll just delete the barfmail I'm getting unread. Thanks, Ian. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
