What should have happened:
My pr should have been sent off without a problem.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I removed the initial blank line from the pbad file (possibly
unnecessarily) and fed it to
/usr/lib/sendmail -v -t
and it seems to have been delivered successfully.
It's over four minutes snice the PR was delivered to bugs@cygnus.com
and I've not yet received an ack. I haven't submitted a PR to cygnus
before so perhaps this is normal, but generally NetBSD PRs get acked
much faster than that. I suppose auto-ack might also be off.
[seconds later] hmm, it just arrived. It looks like they're
batched until every hour (or perhaps every five minutes), or
possibly it got queued and the queue was run. Oh well :-)
