Upcoming changes to GNOME's mail infrastructure

[Andrea Veri <av gnome org>]

Hi,

during early November the following changes will be applied to GNOME's mail infrastructure:

1. SPF records will be made more strict and outgoing email for any @gnome.org e-mail will have to transit over GNOME's mail servers

2. DKIM will be introduced to sign emails originating from a @gnome.org alias

3. @gnome.org alias owners will have to change their mail client configuration to use GNOME mail servers as their SMTP server with authentication defaulting to their GNOME account credentials

There will be another communication from our side with an exact list of modifications you will need to apply to comply with the above changes. As a friendly reminder all the mailing lists (with the exception of l10n lists which are undergoing a set of code changes on damned-lies) hosted on mail.gnome.org will be retired at the end of October 2022. Please see [1].

Thanks,
