Re: Cannot post a release announcement to announce@
Thanks, Craig and Stefan. The problem ended up being a gmail behavior, not a Thunderbird behavior. Gmail switches your From address back to your gmail address no matter how you try to override it via your email tool. I managed to get the message through by sending it from my Comcast account and overriding the From address. I have documented this behavior at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15311 and https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/ReleasePublication Thanks, -Rick On 10/21/17 2:21 PM, Craig Russell wrote: Hi Rick, The announce moderation email never made it, so the problem is almost certainly on the sending side.

Hi Rick, The announce moderation email never made it, so the problem is almost certainly on the sending side.
