Thx for taking a look. Hmm. That's possible, but I (and the grep call I just ran) fail to spot the typo. Maybe the wording is to confusing: regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the list, regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is a dedicated email address I (the kernel's regression tracker) use for regression tracking (which reminds me: maybe I should ask for a alias like regressions@xxxxxxxxxx or regression-tracker@xxxxxxxxxx). Ciao, Thorsten
