Actually, I made d...@dinsdale.python.org an acceptable alias so these messages won't just fill up the hold queue of the list. It did get the problem fixed, didn't it? ;)
It solved the admin problem for we two, but over 100(?) people, including me, got a slew of bogus checkin messages.
I don't remember the previous conversation. If folks really don't want those messages hitting the checkins list, then errors should probably be sent to some address that can do something about the problem when they occur. Maybe that's not d...@dinsdale.python.org, or maybe that alias should point somewhere else (is that address ever used in the good path?). I have no idea where that address is used. As for the noise issue, well, I hope such failures shouldn't happen very often. We can set up an auto-discard, but then I worry that problems will just go unnoticed for days.
They should be sent to the small group of people who can usefully respond to them.
