The best way to handle this would be to have messages about csup
failing to be directed only to those who are actually able to fix the
problem. Assuming that the cvsup server is always going to work is
contrary to both history and good system administration practices. :)
Perhaps as an interim measure a local procmail rule to filter out cvsup
failures from going to the list ?
That's a particularly unhelpful response. Not only is it borderline
rude to attempt to shift the responsibility for this to the users,
it's a violation of the robustness principle.
I meant "local procmail rule" as in local to the tinderboxes so that des
and myself and others who admin the boxes only get such messages. I
didnt want to make such changes without des' approval and was waiting
for his input...
In that case I apologize for the misunderstanding. I've used procmail
for many years on the receiving end but was not aware of the ability to
use it in the manner you suggested.
