Dear announce-owner,
I am forwarding this question to you because I received an unhelpful
canned response from the announce-help list when I sent it the following
message.
Thanks in advance for your advice,
-Rick

Dear announce-help,
I hope that someone will be able to help me with the following problem:
I am trying to publish a new release of Apache Derby
(http://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.14.1.0.cgi). I have
successfully sent the release announcement to our user and developer
lists. However, I have not been able to send the release announcement to
the announce@ mailing list. So far, the Infrastructure team has not been
able to coach me through these problems:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15311.
I served as a release manager two years ago. At that time, I was able to
ssh to an Apache machine and use the command line mail tool in order to
post the release announcement to announce@. Unfortunately, committers
can't directly log onto Apache machines today.
I have failed to configure my Thunderbird mail tool to use the Apache
relay service, per Infrastructure's advice as described here:
https://reference.apache.org/committer/email#sendingemailfromyourapacheorgemailaddress.
I don't know why. Maybe the Apache relay service is not a mail provider
supported by Thunderbird. Maybe Thunderbird requires incoming as well as
outgoing configuration parameters and the Apache instructions only state
the outgoing parameters.
I have also failed to configure sendmail on my Mac OSX machine. At this
point, I am very far afield, very far outside my skill set.
I would appreciate your advice on how to post a release announcement to
announce@.
Thanks,
-Rick
