I did make the patch and posted it in an email to infrastructure@ on 11/23. It has not been applied.
Darn! I referenced the wrong post. I got some feedback and incorporated that in a revised patch submitted 11/26. Attached is a patch against the current head that makes the suggested changes.
Please cross-check.
If we do get this applied, we should change the Jakarta Newbie page to point to this for mail account setup questions.
Added.
What I meant was to change the link on newbie.html to point to the new section on the apache site. I guess its OK to duplicate, but the comments about sending from apache accounts should probably provide a reference to apache.org/dev/committers.html
Thanks for applying the patch and sorry for my mistake with the reference.
