How come email addressed to [email protected] is getting delivered
to [email protected], which is the correct list for the 6man WG?

When we concluded the IPv6 WG and formed 6MAN, the decision was made to keep using the [email protected] mailing list. This allowed list members to retain all of their existing filters and reduced the amount of work needed by the list administrators. A few months ago an AD who shall remain nameless assumed that the WG name and the mailing list name were the same and complained when e-mail sent to [email protected] bounced.

We then asked Glen to create an alias that would re-direct any mail sent to 6man@ to ipv6@ to avoid such events from occurring.


This confused my filters considerably. (Before anyone suggests
the obvious, I have updated them appropriately.)

Apologies for the inconvenience. It never dawned on me to send mail to the list explaining the existence of this alias.

I am curious as to what message caused the problem. My filters have not failed on any recent message to the list.

Regards,
Brian
