Messages that arrive at submit or bugs whose Subject starts Bug#nnn will be treated as having been sent to nnn@bugs. This is both for backwards compatibility with mail forwarded from the old addresses, and to catch followup mail sent to submit by mistake (for example, by using reply to all recipients).
A similar scheme operates for `maintonly,' `done,' `quiet,' and `forwarded,' which treat mail arriving with a `Subject' tag as having been sent to the corresponding nnn-whatever@bugs address.
Messages arriving at plain forwarded and done--i.e., with no bug report number in the address--and without a bug number in the Subject will be filed under `junk' and kept for a few weeks, but otherwise ignored.
At some point the `Package:' secondary header field may become mandatory--at the moment omitting it just produces a warning message.
It used to be possible to prevent the bug tracking system from forwarding anywhere messages it received at debian-bugs, by putting an X-Debian-PR: quiet line in the actual mail header.
This header line is now ignored. Instead, send your message to quiet or nnn-quiet (or maintonly or nnn-maintonly).
