Wow, this is fun. Connect.o.o shows that my e-mail alias points to the address which I also use now to send this e-mail. Just as the microfocus account page. On the other hand I just tested, and receive e-mails to a completely different address, which I used 10+ years ago. Luckily I still have access...
If you want to have it changed, please write to admin@opensuse.org. Including your username or a link to your connect profile would be helpful ;-)
Setting "Contact email" to the target address you want to use makes it easier for us because a) copy&paste ;-) and b) as a verification that it's really you / your mail address. (You can set that field to private aka admin-only if you don't want to have it public.)
I do not think connect.o.o changes the destination address. Well, there are two fields:
opensuse.org email alias (full) --> opensuse.org email alias (target)
AFAIK the "email alias (target)" field is only visible for admins.
Ah! As I am, I don't know what other people see O:-)
OTOH, there is a "Contact email" field which is more public (depending on a user's settings) and user-editable, but it has nothing to do with the @opensuse.org alias.
But changing the target here doesn't change really the target. It only records what you say about it. The actual change is done opening a ticket with admin at opensuse.org. AFAIK, I could be wrong.
You are ;-) We have a cronjob that regularly (IIRC hourly) gets the aliases and targets from connect.o.o and feeds them to the SUSE mailserver (which also handles opensuse.org).
Oh! Well, that's good :-)
Nevertheless, mailing admin@o.o is the preferred way so that we have mail alias changes tracked.
Ok, so that's the answer we have to give people asking. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
