Description stx123 2000-10-23 11:24:32 UTC

Mails to the cvs notification lists contain invalid From: fields (e.g. 
os@openoffice.org). Despite the fact that Reply-To: is set I would prefer 
either the correct real name, email address from tigris or the tigris login as 
real name and dev@... as email address.

If you're referring to the way the "From" address is munged on 
http://sw.openoffice.org/sw-cvs/ this is actually a "feature" of 
SourceCast. We veil email addresses as "user at host.domain" in
order to prevent website crawlers and spammers from finding new 
suckers, i mean customers.

The mail notification feature from SourceCast's cvs always uses your
domain alias address which is <cvsloginname>@openoffice.org.
Select "User Preferences" from http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/TStartPage
to customize the actual address mail is forwarded to. Again, we feel
this is a feature which gives open-source developers on the site a permanent
alias for all their work related to the project.

I'm marking this as "invalid" as i believe it is a result of misunderstanding
of sourcecast features and feature combinations. If there are remaining issues
please feel free to reopen with some concrete examples.

Thanks for your explanation. I was not aware that xx@openoffice.org is a valid
email address and that messages to this address are forwarded to the address
mentioned in the preferences of user xx.

given Stefan's most recent comments, i'm now marking this as "closed".
