If the mails are not relayed but discarded then I strongly suggest to send something like a "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" mail to the sender. I'm used to getting them from "regular" mail servers if I use an incorrect address. E.g. I used $pkg@tracker.d.o a year ago as user because I saw it (incorrectly) mentioned somewhere. I just realized recently (while looking into alioth issues) that there was no non-responsive maintainer, but a mistake on my side. Greets jre
