    I hope there is some better solution than sending single bug reports

    This also should include some means to work around the less than 5
    bug reports per hour SPAM protection means of BTS.


    clone the bug however many time you need and retitle the clones? What matters for the ftp tooling is just the bug title, pretty much.
    That's one single email...

    I admit I love this hint and tried to follow it first by this mail

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-r/2024/03/msg00006.html
    To: [email protected], Debian R <[email protected]>

    where I received the response "Package is missing" from BTS. So I
    simply tried to send this to some existing bug

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1063376#53
    by bouncing it to [email protected]

    Seems I did not understood BTS syntax and something is missing since
    nothing seems to happen regarding creation of new bugs.

    Any hint what might be wrong here?

    Kind regards
    Andreas.

    What you are trying to accomplish is no regular bug reporting but some manipulation of existing bugs. Hence the control server must be used directly by sending your mail to [email protected] instead of submit@... See also the first sentence on

    Have fun,

    Works.

    Thanks for guiding me patiently
