Hi Ludo,
PS: `bug-ghostscr...@gnu.org' seems to be swallowing emails
without ever publishing them
No, that is not correct, as you can see since I just received your email
via bug-ghostscript. What happens is that the first time a sending
address mails to bug-ghostscript (and virtually all other GNU lists), a
human has to look at it and approve it, and approve the address for the
future. I trust the reason is obvious.
Usually this happens within 24 hours, but it can certainly take longer
on occasion, everyone involved being human.
and without sending any kind of notification to the sender.
That is also correct. Automated replies of any kind are the wrong thing
to do these days, because of forged spam. The replies end up going to
people who never sent email in the first place far more often than they
do anything helpful.
Perhaps a misconfiguration?
No. See http://listhelper.nongnu.org for more (laconic) info.
If you have any questions about mailing list setup, I'll be glad to
answer them, but email me off-list, as this has nothing to do with
Ghostscript.
Best,
Karl
