Spamfighting and missing mail
The bug tracking system implements a rather extensive set of rules
designed to make sure that spam does not make it through the BTS. While
we try to minimize the number of false positives, they do occur. If you
suspect your mail has triggered a false positive, feel free to contact
owner@bugs.debian.org for assistance. Another common cause of mail not
making it through to the BTS is utilizing addresses which match
procmail's FROM_DAEMON, which includes mail from addresses like
mail@foobar.com. If you suspect your mail matches FROM_DAEMON, see
procmailrc(5) to verify, and then resend the mail using an address
which does not match FROM_DAEMON.
