Re: [Mingw-users] SF tracker tickets and email

Okay; I can live with it, provided the current 40..50 per diem volume 
isn't sustained indefinitely.  However, I have noted one consequent 
issue: it appears that comments posted to the new tracker are being 
copied to MinGW-Notify, with "From:" header identifying the original 
poster, whence they are rejected, (and a rejection notification is sent 
to said poster).

The old tracker didn't work like this.  Messages were copied to 
MinGW-Notify, but the original poster's address was replaced in the 
"From:" header, by a "noreply@sf..." address, which MinGW-Notify is 
configured to accept.  We'll need to follow up on this issue; for the 
time being, I've changed the MinGW-Notify options to quietly discard 
incoming messages from unapproved poster's, (which means everybody 
except "noreply@sf...").  In its present configuration, MinGW-Notify 
will no longer receive tracker postings, so it has become effectively 
defunct.

I've been reviewing them, as they come in, seeing it as an opportunity 
for a refresher on possibly forgotten issues.  One thing puzzles me: the 
number of issues which are classified as "Known Bugs", where many, 
(possibly the majority), are actually PEBKAC, and not bugs at all.
