We lost a large chunk of the Firefox 37.0b5 mail. Eg, I don't have any mail about Linux builds.

We also lost the Thunderbird 37.0b1 "live on beta channel" mail.

Hal, I seem to recall you futzing with some mailing list settings (for release@ maybe?) before we switched to the new mailing list. Maybe we need to do similar things for release-automation-notifications@mozilla.com?

This is a pretty serious issue given the confusion it can cause. We were pretty lucky that no failure mail went missing, otherwise 37.0b5 could've been greatly delayed.
I'm told there were some routing or other issues with mail flowing from buildbot masters -> relayhost last night, which explains the missing mail. Rail suggested that we may want to use the local postfix installs to send mail anyways though, because it would be requeued if it errors...
According to http://mxr.mozilla.org/build/source/buildbot/master/buildbot/status/mail.py#144 and http://mxr.mozilla.org/build/source/buildbotcustom/status/mail.py#38, "localhost" is the default relayhost, so we should just remove these parameters altogether...

don't send mail directly to mail.build.mozilla.org

I checked /etc/postfix/main.cf on a couple of masters, they have "relayhost = [smtp.mail.scl3.mozilla.com]" entries (coming from http://hg.mozilla.org/build/puppet/file/edc5902fc40b/manifests/moco-config.pp#l80).

Should just work.

For posterity, bug 1142666 talks about the relayhost issues.

Things seem to be OK now. We got all of the Fennec 36.0.2 mail.
