Hi,
After noticing that all addresses known in my tigris profile were rewritten
to the anti-spam address I previously used behind the profile address I
changed my profile address to make sure the part before @ contains my
committer name.
The buildbot on http://www.mobsol.be/buildbot/ only uses that part before @
in its reporting.. It was saying bert-tigris.org or something like that..
(And it is now saying Hyrum as committer name, where it used to be hwright)
I assume the commit mailer on svn.collab.net sends mail as
<committer>@tigris.org, which is now automatically rewritten to the profile
address that used to be fully private.
Trying to fix my issues, I added all addresses I regularly use to send mail
to the list as secondary email addresses to my profile. (I assumed this was
or would become best practice)
So now I have, b.huijben{_AT_}competence.biz (Primary work mail),
bert{_AT_}vmoo.com (Primary home mail) and bert{_AT_}qqmail.nl (webmail) all
in my profile and rhuijben{_AT_}sharpsvn.net as primary address on my
profile.
This last address was just a workaround for the @tigris.org address
disappearing and my anti spam address appearing.
The problem I had this morning (that started Greg's search) was that I saw
mails arriving around 9 AM, that I send about 1 AM last night (as seen from
European time), while some of my addresses can send mail instantly.
I really don't mind which address is seen where, but I do like seeing my
mails on the list when the thread is still running on IRC instead of 8-10
hours later when a moderator is awake. (But I prefer to hide my email
addresses from websites to suppress the amount of spam).
Bert
