It is spam -- in a sense. It's generally unsolicited. It's historical tradition to cc authors -- which is why I want to move away from email and let notification be an author's choice from a central source. > Again, I ask: I would like bot notification to be opt-in only. You mean rather than a skipfile, have an opt-in file? I think that's a good suggestion. I could add that to CPAN::Reporter fairly quickly, but someone will have to go upgrade CPANPLUS or CPAN::YACSmoke and then we have to get all the automated test smokers to upgrade. David
