I happen to often send mails to <package>@packages.debian.org while conducting my NMU campaigns for l10n bugs hunting. From time to time, I still get such mails rejected because the said package uses a mailing list as "Maintainer:". This is of course one of the keys of collaborative maintenance but, please fellow developers, do NOT use subscribers-restricted mailing lists for that! Or, at least allow mails sent to <package>@p.d.o as well as mails from the BTS and all such administrative stuff. There's indeed nothing as annoying as getting a "your mail has been held for moderation" or "posting restricted to subscribers" when sending a notification to <package>@p.d.o or sending a bug report. As a kind of example, let me post what Steve and I did set for the samba package maintenance ML, run by mailman: accept_these_nonmembers: ^[A-Za-z0-9.-]+@.*samba\.org ^[A-Za-z0-9.-]+@alioth\.debian\.org bts-link-upstream@lists.alioth.debian.org 1) Allow posts from our upstream: 2) Allow admin mails from Alioth 3) Allow BTS-link mails generic_nonmember_action: Hold acceptable aliases: ^[0-9]\+\(-quiet\|-maintonly\|-done\|-forwarded\)*@bugs\.debian\.org submit@bugs.debian.org samba@packages.debian.org samba@packages.qa.debian.org 1) Allow bugs to be sent to the ML 2) Ditto 3) Allow mails sent to samba@p.d.o to reach the ML 4) Ditto require_explicit_destination: No --
