Hi,
We're trying to use a Debbugs to manage bug reports for the
Emacs project. For various reason, it is necessary to reuse the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] email address for bug submission as well as the
bug-gnu-emacs mailing-list for distribution of the discussions about
bugs, so we need to insert the Debbugs in between the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address and the bug-gnu-emacs Mailman list.
Stephen J. Turnbull says that a clean way to do it is to add a special
Mailman Handler for the bug-gnu-emacs list which would redirect to
Debbugs all the email that is not coming from Debbugs. Can you help us
out here?
Stefan
