Then, several recipients that tried to email to my opensuse.org address had their email rejected, because antispam measures on transit failed with the aliasing, bouncing back the email. I forget the name of the feature, but I simply had to stop using my opensuse.org alias. (Yes, I opened a ticket for this years ago, no answer).
Do you have the number of that ticket? I have not been using my opensuse alias much, but I have never had any issues with it. I use my computer.org alias for practically everything, no problems there either. (of course, forwarded mails from domains with SPF records are occasionally identified as spam, but it's no big deal).

I have been told that the solution is for opensuse.org is to implement SRS, so the ball is on your side.
Ah yes, that issue. FWIW, I have recently dealt with exactly that same issue myself. One of my customers switched mail provider, the new provider also rejected mail due to this SPF failure. The "ball" can end up in three places (my company is at (c)) : a) with the sender, who would have to relax their SPF policy of "-all". b) with the receiver, who would have to relax their SPF policy enforcement. c) with the forwarder, who would have to implement SRS. In every one of my cases of the last 12 years, (b) has been the answer, including the one from this week. We're staying away from option (c) because (1) every implementation out there sucks performance-wise and (2) it requires (b) to understand what's going on. SRS would probably work fine on the SUSE mailserver, but unless some enthusiastic SUSE mail admin will take it on, I'm afraid little or nothing will be done. It does cause a minor problem for the use of the opensuse.org alias, I agree. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
