For the record, in the past (before the move to ASF servers), each forum had a 
contact address with a special process:

1. All messages were sent to a moderator forum visible to mods only. A tag told 
if the mail address was registered or not. An other one told if it was not the 
first message from that mail address (to the admin mailbox).
2. An automatic reply was sent depending on the existence of an identical 
registered mail address.
3. Mods just had to edit each message to confirm if standard reply would have 
taken care of the problem or not. If a specific reply was needed. The edit was 
used to tell other mods that the message had been checked. Non edited posts had 
then to be checked and action taken if necessary.

Here is the automated mail:
------------------
Thank-you,

This is an automated response from the OUCV forum administrators. This mailbox 
is primarily for assisting users with registration difficulties. The best place 
to find out information and to ask Questions is on our forums. We therefore 
only respond by email to those questions that cannot be resolved through using 
our forums.

http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=527

    gives you guidance if you have registration difficulties.

http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=5569

    explains how to ask a Q on the forum.

<Custom Paragraph>

Note that to prevent mail loops, we only send out one automated response per 
sender. Our administrators also routinely monitor this mailbox and one will 
contact you separately if we believe that your request is not covered by this 
response.

Regards
The OUCV Forum Administrators
------------------

And the <Custom Paragraph> was:

*Email address belongs to an active registered user*
We have looked up your email address in our forum registration database and 
according to our records User account XXXXX with the email address YYYYYY@ZZZZZ 
has been registered with the forum and is currently activate. You may log on 
and post questions on the forum. If you have forgotten your password then 
please go to:

    http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ucp.php?mode=sendpassword

*Email address belongs to a registered user, not yet activated*
We have looked up your email address in our forum registration database and 
according to our records User account XXXXX with the email address YYYYYY@ZZZZZ 
has been registered with the forum but has not yet been activated. However we 
have treated this email as an activation request. You can now log on to the 
forum and post questions.

*Email address is not on user database*
We have looked up your email address in our forum registration database and 
according to our records there is no registered user with the address 
YYYYYY@ZZZZZ. You need to register with the forum at 
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum//ucp.php?mode=login before you can 
post questions. It only takes a minute or so to fill in the form and then click 
on the link in our confirmation email to activate your account.

It would be nice to reactivate the script and the mailbox. Something for imacat?

not find how to report those problems or just ask for help. A "contact
info" page is missing from the wiki. Which is the best way to implement
it?

(1) http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=62022


In general, to report issues related to the project's online services
they can enter a BZ issue.  In this case it would be categorized as
Infrastructure/Mwiki.


I sent this email mainly to start discussing the best page content... but
then completely forgot the problem, sorry. It is now filled:
