The mailing list software deny all incoming emails where the mailing list address is not in to or in cc field. (configurable, but I don't want unless convince otherwise). For now we have 3 possibilities: - kill vbox@ and replace it with emulation@ which is imho the best in this particular situation - teach emulation@ it can be named vbox@, but I really don't understand the point of doing that ;) - tell the mailing lists to accept any incoming email even if not sent to emulation@ which I am really reluctant to do.
