Thanks for the clarification!  The problem is obvious now, but the cause is
not.

If there's an ongoing problem here, it has to be due to something SF is
doing.  The only control we (project admins) have over the bug-report email
is:

1. whether or not to send it;

and,

2. if we do want to send it, the email address to which it gets sent.

So the only thing anyone did here was tell SF to email bug tracker stuff to
spambayes-bugs at python.org.  There are no other hooks into that system (e.g.,
we don't run any scripts when bug email is generated, and couldn't even if
we wanted to).  Sounds like a PHP bug to me <wink>.
