This would appear to be more common, but as far as filing a bug report, I
logged in to do something in 2015, creating a new account at the time,
so now it refuses to let me in because the username content rules have
been changed and my username is now invalid. And because it knows my
email address, it won't let me create a new account. So its the classic
chicken v egg. I am locked out, so I rant on this list.
So if your are scanning the bugs looking for my submissions, taint gonna
happen. I have emailed admin and postmaster to ask that my account be
expunged so I can create a new one, but like most such emails its been
dumped to /dev/null, or at least ignored. I never got a bounce msg.
Those bounces I do get are because my ISP's spam filtering is a hell of a
lot better than bendels. I have looked at the message bendel claimed was
bounced, and with an exception in the last since wheezy time scale,
every one of those bounced messages were spam/phishing. So my isp
bounces it, and then I get a msg threatening to unsub me from bendel.
We've also had this discussion several times since 2015. Fix it so I can
file a bug report, and you will get bug reports. Till then.......
