Re: [ph.unimelb.edu.au #1012] AutoReply: [SECURITY] [DSA 674-1] New mailman packages fix several vulnerabilities
Hello,
Thank you for providing this entire list with a trouble ticket through
your poorly setup request tracker software, it is nice to know we have
two of these today because we know you are on top of things and will
get back to us as soon as you can.
These are obviously very important announcements to you and your
organization and you want to make sure someone follows up on them, but
I don't think the rest of the list needs to know that.
Please do us all a favor and turn off your auto-responder.
