https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414666 Summary: opensuse.org emailadresses will fail for default SPF configurations Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software AssignedTo: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: fnmueller@opensuse.org QAContact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer If the sending and the the receiving party of an Email (to @opensuse.org) use providers that use SPF the Email will be bounced as suse.de has not implemented SRS. Instead, they only redirect the Email, which looks like they are trying to fake the sender. This bug is in my eyes very critical as the @opensuse.org receivers do not get notified for faild attempts. I only got aware of it after six month and many many people have failed to send me email to my opensuse.org adress (and finally some managed to complain about it). If the Email is forwarded to gmx or googlemail for instance, it will be turned down by the respective server. I suspect many many opensuse members are hit by this. I already contacted postmaster@suse.de and got this reply: "Hi, disable your rejects on SPF records or whitelist our server on _YOUR_ server. --> host mx1.fnmueller.de[217.13.200.26] said: <-- If you want to use you opensuse.org address, you have to disable SPF checks. The SUSE email server only redirect messages to you and do not rewrite the sender addresses. Your server thinks we are sending unauthorized emails (spam) with @gmx sender addresses. Cheers Matthias" (Sadly, I never got a reply on why SRS is not implemented.) This is imho the worst way to go. All opensuse members would have to be notified as well as they would have to be able to make their providers make the respective changes, which is quite hard for providers like google or gmx. Just not using SPF is not an option either. So SRS should be implemented on suse.de as this will transparently solve the problem for all now existing and future members. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
