It's not related. It seems that around the time the last moderation message went out (11.30PST), /etc/aliases was changed to add: debbugs-submit-owner: /dev/null I'm not sure this works, because /var/log/exim4/mainlog now contains many lines of the form: /dev/null R=system_aliases defer (-30): file_transport unset in system_aliases router Perhaps :blackhole: is better? Either or both method may have the unintended side-effect of exim simply throwing away all outgoing mail destined for debbugs-submit-owner, and not bothering to send it to the cc's either. Hence we get no moderation messages at all. The web interface still works.
