In some setups, mail to several different mail addresses are routed into the same roundup instance.
This works very well with the exception that a user with the mail address the mail was destined for is created and then added to the nosy list, which means that every change note will be sent not only to the people that are interested, but also the tracker itself. That's kind of ugly.
The recommended solution is to create an auditor that checks if the user that corresponds to the recipient address is on the nosy list, and then removes it from the nosy.
Here is just such an auditor, contributed by "Kyle Lanclos":http://www.ucolick.org/~lanclos/. This auditor has been tested with Roundup 1.3.2::
# Prevent specific roundup usernames from appearing in an issue's nosy list.
# The value designated as 'email' in the config.ini is already omitted
# from the nosy list, but any aliases for the same will be treated as
# regular roundup users.
#
# #
# Definitions.
# #
#
# Define a python list of user names (note: NOT e-mail addresses, and
# NOT user ids) to omit from the nosy list.
#omit_user_list = ['trackeralias','anotheralias']
omit_user_list = []
# Set DEBUG to True to get debug output to a file.
DEBUG = False
