Hi, Posting bugs to Savane through a mail interface is currently not possible.
The main blockers are: - handling spam - respecting posting privileges (while a mail address can be easily faked) For the 2nd point we might offer to disable posting privileges when enabling a mail interface - that could simplify the problem. There's a 3rd blocker though: - clean-up the code I'm working on that atm. Suggestions welcome :) -- Sylvain On Sat, Mar 31, 2007 at 04:32:38PM -0500, Karl Berry wrote: > Hi Sylvain and all, > > I've been trying to help Anton Ertl (GNU gforth/vmgen maintainer) > reconfigure things so that a bug report in the savannah web interface > goes to the relevant mailing list.
