Description Dan Fandrich 2024-02-11 00:47:44 CET

We've received some reports that notification e-mails from the forum are not being received by users. These emails are sent from forum-developers@group.mageia.org. Messages I receive have an envelope from address of root@mageia.org, but I suspect that's being rewritten by an intermediate mail server.

The issue is likely a lack of SPF record for mageia.org and/or group.mageia.org. Adding SPF to mageia.org means that nobody would be able to send e-mails as user@mageia.org, making it much less useful. Another solution is to change the envelope from to an address with an SPF record, which is currently only the @ml.mageia.org domain.
