A notification is sent, but it's not master.debian.org who sends it but your SMTP server. If your SMTP server is listed in a DNSBL which I told db.debian.org to use for my debian.org email and you try to send me a message, then master will say "I don't accept this message" to your SMTP server, and your SMTP server, in turn, will send you the usual mailer-daemon message saying "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender". I was comparing the previous scenario with the current one. The risk of missing an email because of it being lost inside a very big spam folder is now very low. This is one of the reasons rejecting a lot of email at SMTP time and filtering the rest (what we can do now) is usually better than not rejecting anything at all and trying to "filter" everything afterwards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
