Hi Garrett - I'm guessing you hit this a lot due to your ARC duties, right? Where someone sends in a case for review & copies their own iteam or interest alias, but *you* can't send mails to their alias. This seems like something the ARC could document around that would help, something like: "i-team alias (must be postable by anyone during review period):" on the 1-pager form. of course, someone submitting the case may not have control over the alias. Someone had before suggested that, if there was such a way, it would be nice if any address subscribed to any opensolaris.org alias could post to all others, but I don't know enough about our mailmain instance to know if such intelligence in the tool is possible.
