Thanks, Craig and Stefan. The problem ended up being a gmail behavior,
not a Thunderbird behavior. Gmail switches your From address back to
your gmail address no matter how you try to override it via your email
tool. I managed to get the message through by sending it from my Comcast
account and overriding the From address. I have documented this behavior
at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15311 and
https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/ReleasePublication
Thanks,

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.

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,

-----------------------------------------
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). I have
successfully sent the release announcement to our user and developer
lists. However, I have not been able to send the release announcement
to the announce@ mailing list. So far, the Infrastructure team has
not been able to coach me through these problems:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15311.
I served as a release manager two years ago. At that time, I was able
to ssh to an Apache machine and use the command line mail tool in
order to post the release announcement to announce@. Unfortunately,
committers can't directly log onto Apache machines today.
I have failed to configure my Thunderbird mail tool to use the Apache
relay service, per Infrastructure's advice as described here:
https://reference.apache.org/committer/email#sendingemailfromyourapacheorgemailaddress.
I don't know why. Maybe the Apache relay service is not a mail
provider supported by Thunderbird. Maybe Thunderbird requires
incoming as well as outgoing configuration parameters and the Apache
instructions only state the outgoing parameters.
I have also failed to configure sendmail on my Mac OSX machine. At
this point, I am very far afield, very far outside my skill set.
I would appreciate your advice on how to post a release announcement
to announce@.
Thanks,
-Rick
