[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-3724) attachments sent get dropped without notification to either sender or receiving list

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13054294#comment-13054294 ] 

Gavin commented on INFRA-3724:
------------------------------

I dont think at this stage we'll apply fixes globally. And moderators will not appreciate sending all rejected messages to them (you can not say afaict 'send  rejected messages with attachments' , its all rejected messages get sent or they all get dropped.)

so, I would say to cure this for Subversion is to tell us what you want to do there? I can removed some MIME types from the mimeremove file for the dev/user lists if it will help.
Note that .diff and .patch files are not categrized and dropping say application/octet-stream will not help in these cases (.dump it will)

thoughts?

> When people send attachments to dev@svn it commonly happens that the attachments don't reach the list and neither the sender nor the list is notified (by the MTAs) of the dropped/missing attachment.  Asking people to re-send with a *.txt (or *.zip) extension allows the attachment to get through.
> This issue requests that attachments either get through or either the sender or the list is notified of their having been stripped.
