Hi,

I just got this message for moderation on the pgsql-patches list:

From: pgsql-patches-postgresql(dot)org(at)localhost(dot)postgresql(dot)org
To: "pgsql-patches-postgresql(dot)org(at)localhost(dot)postgresql(dot)org"
<pgsql-patches-postgresql(dot)org(at)localhost(dot)postgresql(dot)org>

Subject: Your health is your wealth.Date: s

This is not hard to shot and reject on sight. The strange thing is that
I also got a subsequent message for moderation which was addressed to
the list, saying that this post had just been held for moderation. Huh??

So my question is this: do we have alternate addresses that receive
messages for the list? Is pgsql-patches-postgresql(dot)org(at)postgresql(dot)org a
valid address to which I can send a message and it will be forwarded to
the pgsql-patches list?

If so, I think that is a bogus configuration and should be abolished,
removed, tarred, feathered, burned and banned. Unless there are good
reasons for having it in place.

In fact I think I've seen mail to the lists arrive as
hackers(at)postgresql(dot)org(dot) Is there any reason to have them?

Thanks.
