[Gimp-user] bugzilla spamming gimp users ?
Dear all, I was away for 5 days and have 20+ messages from gimp buzilla in my inbox. I am in the CC field of new bugs... why ? I noticed that more than half of the bugzilla messages I received result from 2 other people removing themselves from the CC list, so we are at least three receiving undesired messages from bugzilla when new bugs are opened. Is this a known issue ? Could you fix it if not already fixed ? TIA.

If you didn't add yourself, then most likely because one of your bugs was resolved as a duplicate. > I noticed that more than half of the bugzilla messages I received result >>from 2 other people removing themselves from the CC list, so we are at > least three receiving undesired messages from bugzilla when new bugs are > opened. You can configure what events will sent mails in your Bugzilla preferences.

Could you fix it if not already fixed ? TIA. > When you file a bug with bugzilla there is a box you can check if you want to be informed if there are changes made related to that bug. Those changes included when someone is added or removed from the cc list. If you have reported a bug and that box was checked, this could be why you're receiving these messages. Adding and removing people from the cc list happens a lot. Bugs get reasssigned, marked as duplicates and people who checked the box when filing a bug, hoping to hear that it has been fixed, also get all these other messages, in addition to one every time someone removes their own address from the cc list. Try following the link in one message from each unique bug number and see if that is the issue. If it is a bug in bugzilla, this list is not the place to go to get it fixed. Not sure exactly where, but there must be a bugzilla *for* bugzilla. Mike ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

We had a Bugzilla user who filed a couple of enhancement requests and for whatever reason included a large list of email address in the Cc: fields. If you are annoyed, please send him a mail and ask him to stop this. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I was more afraid of having been added by mistake to the list of people who received automatic emails from bugzilla if a bug report is opened for a component (I hope what I mean is clear enough :-/ ). Thanks for the explanation, Best regards, Olivier. (*) If it were to happen again, I would follow your advice. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
