You probably need to set ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT=help@patchwise.org
in your environment.

(postfix and presumably other MTAs do this when invoking
 public-inbox-mda)

Erm, that should be "not" specified, I think....  In other
words, Bcc-ing a public mailing list is often spammy or
deceptive behavior.  Patch coming later.

If you're running public-inbox.git, `lei import' should be
faster for importing on-disk mbox{rd,cl,cl2,o}, maildir, MH.
And there'll probably be a `public-inbox-ctl' tool to inject
messages from HTTP(S) ActivityPub requests.

I'm really behind on making releases, unfortunately; but all
the email-only stuff should be OK in public-inbox.git; and I've
been bogged down by offline stuff this year :<
