With my kernel.org address I get mail forwarding and a SMTP server for sending emails -> https://korg.wiki.kernel.org/userdoc/mail A SMTP server for mail deliver used by DDs would be money much better spent than paying random companies to get @debian.org on their whitelist. After all, a random person can post using lea...@debian.org and his dial-up or $2 VM and getting through the whitelists. I don't get the point why the debian machines would get a copy of email email sent. It ends up in the spool folder and gets deleted once delivered. Also I don't see the point why using a specific machine mail delivery is problem. > I'd prefer to find a way to do none of the above and still get > reasonable email reputation with the large providers. Nope. I don't mind that email is forwaded only but SMTP should be part of the email setup. > I think this is a case where serving our users and being practical is > more important than a moralistic stand.
