CAcert System Admins discussion list

[Ian G <iang AT cacert.org>]

Guys,

in my readings of the support email traffic, I spotted an auto-delivered 
mail to support from root AT cacert.org.  Wytze below points out this comes 
from irc.cacert.org not www.cacert.org, so it's infrastructure not 
critical team.

The question still remains:  I don't think support should be getting 
emails for root.  Agreed?

Strawman:  they should be sent to the sysadm list?  Or?

No, we don't receive root emails from the infrastructure systems,
nor should we. irc is maintained by Evaldo Gardenali according to
the wiki. I would expect root email from irc to go to him and to
Daniel Black. So how do you end up getting it???
