do we need someone who stops the time when the first anti-spam tool has deciphered the new option ?
The difference is that then it is deliberate and not accidental. What we wnat to do is prevent accidental and unwanted use of e-mail addresses which are very often not connected to the database object anyways. I get dozens of e-mails a day because I used to change database objects more than 7 years ago.
can we start a discussion to hide the notify: fields as well ? Here this address gets an order of magnitude more anti-spam mail than any entry found in a changed: line.
I consider this well-directed e-mail as the notify attribute, as the mnt-notify, should be maintained current and point to a mailbox maintaining the database object and the resource associated with it. It is then a matter of local policy whether you answer this kind of mail or you do not.
Sorry, if this sounds sarcastic. I'm just trying to prevent people from wasting time that could be better spent in the forthcoming reimplementation of the database.
We looked at this and it is not a big deal to implement. Daniel
