Request: Send a blank email to pear-webmaster+get-7120@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
Hi! Over the last couple of months I've started receiving a weird email that appears to be from the PEAR site. The subject of the message "Password for PEAR bug report #4623" and it's sent from bounce-no-user@php.net. The entire (redacted) body of the email is: The password for PEAR bug report #4623 is [redacted]. I have received this email twice: on the 18th of October and the 4th of November. The message IDs of the two emails are 20171018082615.26E101381A1B@pear.php.net 20171104230605.E7B881380CEB@pear.php.net I have no idea what it means for an individual bug report to have a password assigned to it. The bug report was closed in 2005, and the password in the email looks like one I might have used at the time, so on the off chance that the true meaning of the email is "the password of the user that submitted bug report #4623" I've tried logging in using my email address and that password, but that fails. I haven't used the PEAR site or its bugs system in a long time, so I can't think of any reason the site would suddenly be sending me email related to passwords I've used in the past, especially in regard to a long-closed ticket. Any thoughts on what's going on here? Matt Pounsett
