[Lars Kruse <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

as discussed in the IRC meetings, we moved the mail handling for
@libravatar.org to a tech collective, that I am involved with
(https://systemausfall.org/).


= service-related addresses =

The following mail addresses are configured:
 accounts
 admin
 dev
 dns
 mirrors
 security
 social
 support
 tls

All of these are currently redirected to fmarier.

@fmarier: at some point we surely want to change this (e.g. adding more
recipients or removing your address, if you would prefer that).
Do you have an idea, whether we should do this now or rather do it as soon as
the new implementation is online?


= mail-related addresses =

abuse@ and postmaster@ are received by the project administrating the mail
service.


= private mail addresses =

We had a longer discussion during the IRC meeting, whether we want to provide
private mail addresses to members of the project. There was a slight tendency
towards allowing these (with some reluctance by others).

For historical reasons there is already francois@ for fmarier (the existence of
this mail forwarding was not disputed).
nipos already asked for such a forwarding. It is configured now.

Anyone else who is active in the project is also welcome to get such a mail
forwarding. Just send a mail to this list (for transparency) and I will
configure them.


= technical details =

There are no real mailboxes configured for the mail domain. All addresses are
configured for forwarding only.
Thus mail submission (SMTP) from mail addresses of this domain has to be done
by manually configuring this FROM address in your mail client and by using the
SMTP server one of your other mail providers. This should usually work without
a problem.
SPF records for the libravatar.org domain are configured by fmarier in a relaxed
way in order to not punish mails coming from other MX hosts.


= documentation =

For transparency and documentation, I would volunteer to summarize the mail
handling of the domain in the wiki (https://wiki.libravatar.org/). I would
provide the following details there:
* currently configured service-related mail addresses (see above) and their
  recipients
* currently configured private mail addresses
* hints for sending mails from @libravatar.org
* hint regarding the mail provider / contact address for mail related issues

In order to work around spambot crawlers, I would not mention real mail
addresses, but just local parts and verbal descriptions of recipients.

Do you have any hints or objections regarding this documentation?
(I will interpret silence as approval)


Cheers,
Lars
