Hi Rich - Good call - our suggestion of -ext may not be enough for the bugster system. Unfortunately, this alias is 33 characters long, which doesn't leave much more room for other people on that alias. One solution would be to get them to subscribe to this opensolaris one :) > (We'd also discussed this before, and you'd said that external IE > should be appropriately filtered, as interest-list is, and that it > wouldn't cause problems, which you contradict above.) You're right - I was wrong. In my excitement of trying to find a solution for the length, I overlooked an obvious problem. THanks for catching this! > If it's that big a deal, I wouldn't bother. There may be another solution, but may require getting some assistance from folks on the back end.
