Well, the script that handles submissions (which get handled  
internally as email) regarded your submissions as coming from a mailer  
daemon, and squashed them.  This is because your email address starts  
with "mail_".  I've changed to rule slightly to avoid this problem in  
the future.

(I note that you may have trouble getting past various procmail-based  
(and others) mail handlers due to your choice of email addresses.  The  
issue is with the built-in FROM_DAEMON and FROM_MAILER rules.)

You should now be able to resubmit the issues using the tracker.
