If you are planning on sending a message to the list then send a message to the list. If you don't have anything to send right now then there shouldn't be any urgency in figuring out if your email is working. There isn't any reason to send a content-free message. "Test" email is basically just spam. You're not selling anything but you are sending email to a bunch of people for no other reason than to satisfy your (apparent) personal curiousity about whether you are able to send email or whether sourceware is able to receive your email. That is definitely not what this list is for. There is, however, a list called "test-list" at sourceware where this kind of thing is ok. If you really feel the need to send test email here then please use that. cgf
