Hi,
as I understand it, there is a subtle difference between the $PACKAGE@p.d.o
and $PACKAGE@p.qa.d.o (note the additional .qa-part!) mail aliases.
The @p.d.o alias just forwards the mail to the address listed
as "Maintainer:" in debian/control. You don't need the "X-PTS-Approved:"
header for that alias, it'll just forward anything received for the alias.
Note, however, that this does *not* include people subscribed to the
package via the PTS, nor anyone listed as "Uploader:".
The @p.qa.d.o alias, on the other hand, does seem to require
the "X-PTS-Approved:" header, otherwise the mail will not be forwarded. If
the mail gets forwarded, it'll include the people who are subscribed to the
package's PTS interface with the "default" keyword.
Regards,
Tobias
