Hi Rick, The announce moderation email never made it, so the problem is almost certainly on the sending side.
You can ssh to minotaur.apache.org <http://minotaur.apache.org/> if you set up an ssh key. I've not send mail from my login so I can't help there, but it might be easier than setting up your mail client. See if these links help you set it up. https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/committer_shell_access_to_people <https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/committer_shell_access_to_people> http://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh-add <http://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh-add> http://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh-agent <http://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh-agent> Craig > On Oct 21, 2017, at 11:05 AM, Rick Hillegas <rick.hille...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear announce-owner, > > I am forwarding this question to you because I received an unhelpful canned > response from the announce-help list when I sent it the following message. > > Thanks in advance for your advice, > -Rick > > ----------------------------------------- > > Dear announce-help, > > I hope that someone will be able to help me with the following problem: > > I am trying to publish a new release of Apache Derby > (http://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.14.1.0.cgi > <http://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.14.1.0.cgi>).
