New issue 2646 by stevet...@gmail.com: Mailing lists rejecting all email
since "Auto-Submitted: auto-generated" header added in 1.6.4
http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=2646
What version are you running? 1.6.6
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up a group with a mailing list (using any mailing list software that
rejects all auto-generated emails).
2. Create a review and assign that group.
3. Wonder why nobody is reviewing your work.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see an email about the new review, but I get none because the
mailing list rejects email with the Auto-Submitted header set.
What operating system are you using? What browser?
Linux. Firefox.
Please provide any additional information below.
There is no way in Review Board to disable the "Auto-Submitted" header and,
depending on which mailing list software you are using and your admin
rights, you may not be able to disable the filtering for the mailing list
itself. This feature was added in 1.6.4 without an option to disable, which
seems like a mistake to me. There should, at least, be the option when
configuring a group, to disable this header for email send to the group
mailing list.
Some mailing lists that filter out emails with the Auto-Submitted header:
ezmlm-weed, Sympa, and certainly many more.
