[mb-style] Strange mail answer

[Frederic Da Vitoria]

Hello,

I just had an issue while entering a new release and I posted a question to
musicbrainz-***@lists.musicbrainz.org. To my surprise, I got an answer
from a company called InnovativeAir telling me a ticked had been entered. I
checked the mail I sent and the destination was correct.


Does this make any sense to any one?

I have a feeling that the -users mailing list was closed a couple of months
ago, due to low activity. May be wrong though, but that's what I remember
from talk in #musicbrainz-devel.

OK, I guess that's part of the explanation. I'll ask my question again here.

The musicbrainz mailing lists are public, so it is possible that there
are spammers harvesting email addresses from t he mailing lists. This
sounds like a simple case of an automatic spam message, and I don't
think there's anything we can do about it.

Your message did make it to the musicbrainz-users mailing list
correctly - and I can see it - but with the low traffic on the list,
it's a bit iffy whether or not you'll get a useful response.

No problem, I posted again to mb-style and I got all the answers I needed.
It just feels a little strange to post to a style list about a non-style
issue

Indeed. The thinking with closing the -users list (which still hasn't
been done, even though it was actually decided a long time ago, and
re-decided again recently) is that the MB forums has pretty much
superseded the discussion that -users used to be the main forum for.

OTOH, you could also say with the recent style revamp, that maybe -style
is redundant now and any discussion here could easily go in -users… :)
