Anybody who complains about legitimate failure reports making it to this
list is dead wrong.  I think having "sparse" errror messages to this
list would be fine (once when a given build failed the first time,
another when it built successfully), but others find that too noisy.  To
that end, We have asked that the run-every-day reports go to a separate
list[1], which aggregates them and sends a summary to this list every day.

Stefan Holek runs his Zope2 tests and sends the results there.  The
convention is that the Subject: header for the message starts with
'OK', 'FAILURE', or 'UNKNOWN' (a checkout or build failure), and names
the "configuration" being tested.

Thank you very much for your efforts!
