you're not allowed to use this subject - the announcement mails state:

Replies (at least as long as the subject is kept) are declined.
If this is so (pretty harsh IMO), it should be clearly stated. Rather than "Please do not reply ..." it should say "Do not reply .... replies with the subject kept will be declined".
This is a bug. It casts the original announcement maker as a victim who has no better way to handle email than to cast replies as "spammers" and bounce their email. This is unacceptable. The problem is with whoever is sending the email taking personal umbrage at getting emails about their "automated announcement"; If you don't like receiving responses to that email then use a different email address to send out the announcement, where replies can be parsed with the most minor of AI semantics You rejected an email that didn't fall into your "guidelines"[sic]. You quoted your rules:
Please do not reply to this email to report issues, rather file a bug on bugzilla.opensuse.org.
I was not reporting an issue nor did I have a bug. So the directive not to reply did not apply.

My email had nothing to do with submitting a bug -- it wasn't even addressed to 'you' (Dimstar), as this one partially is. Please stop intercepting list email assuming it is directed to you when you aren't even the address list. If it is your intention to *HELP* redirect email then reply with an email saying so, DON'T just cast it off as SPAM, which throws away valid email -- whether or not it was intended to be some bug report or not. I strongly suggest you use a fake/official email that explains things in detail in the response rather than rejecting emails as "spam", because this was/is a case of it being a valid email that had nothing to do with your "banned" response case.
