The PTS only accepts mails from some trusted source so direct spam won't get forwarded. However spams forwarded by the BTS to the PTS will of course also get those headers...

It will add "X-Debian: PTS" of course. In the end, if DEHS adds "X-Debian: DEHS" you will end up with multiple X-Debian fields in the mails forwarded by the PTS.

How would the PTS know to add a X-Debian: DEHS header to that mail, does it have a list of all tools using it? Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

(I > have no idea whether this even a correct dichotomy) The PTS add those headers to all mails that it forwards. So there's no need to change anything to scripts that only send mails through the PTS.

Afaiui dehs *only* sends emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the question was whether the pts only adds the header to e-mails generated by its own scripts or also to stuff received by mail.

I will eventually be duplicating this information in an X-Debian-Package: header as well, and adding an X-Debian: bugs.debian.org header as well for convenience, but will be keeping the existing PR headers intact for the forseeable future.

But should the package information be unavailable or should it not make sense to relate the email to a package or group of packages, then the header should be ommited. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

One could consider several X-Debian-Package headers when it is about multiple packages, or a list of packages in a single header. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
