Sorry for the noise folks, just testing some work to improve our roundup 
configuration's email management features.

OK, so the first test revealed that my patch to roundup (attached for the 
curious)

Err, I meant to say that the first test revealed that my patch to 
roundup seems to have had no ill effects.  Now I've also pushed a change 
to the nosyreaction detector which makes use of this blacklist feature.

Now let's see what happens when I turn on vacation mode for a user.
Hopefully this means the test user is not getting any mail

No effect.  Try restarting Apache?

Hah! I was editing the wrong field.  Have also temporarily disabled bcc 
darcs-devel to avoid spamming people.  NOW does it work?

Sigh, apparently even not bcc'ing darcs-devel didn't work.
Did I forget to hit save?  Maybe I really do have to restart Apache 
(done)

I believe this works!

Lessons learned:
 * you have to restart Apache when you modify roundup
 * the current roundup (1.4.13), backported prior to 2010-08-14 lives in 
python-2.5 not 2.4
 * don't forget to unbcc darcs-devel if you're going to much around with 
the BTS

Yes, I know it's really comical that I'm doing these tests live and 
breaking the BTS.  Ideally I should be using Trent's lovely mysql-based 
work to do local testing first, but look either I'm going to get the job 
done, or not get the job done but not get it done right.  Sorry for the 
noise!  [and I will change my ways *some* day...]

Comment.

New test: if the author of the message is not nosy, and he is in the 
blacklist, he should *NOT* receive a message.

This test should fail (see Jason's comments on patch370).  But if I 
repeat this test with my modifications, it should pass

Brilliant! The test failed in exactly the way I expected.
Now I've pushed a patch to our config, making it so that it accounts for 
the message author as well.  So I think now I should not be in the list 
of recipients.

Err, that did not work, but I believe that it's because I forgot to 
restart Apache.  How about now.  I should not be in the recipients list.

Voila! Now author properly taken into account.
