IMHO own openSUSE SMTP would be great. I'd also add possibility of DKIM and so and lowered chance of openSUSE legitimate mails failing into SPAM.
Yep. We already publish DKIM / DMARC data.
Good.
Sorry for dumb question, but what does exactly "effort supporting it" mean? I'd guess one wiki page will just state server name, port, security layer and which credentials to use and that's it...?
For starters, there will be 700-800 members who will all need to set up their systems for such a new feature. This will no doubt require some hand-holding, never mind how well it is described on that wiki page
I'd guess this should be solvable "in standard way", i.e. ML, fora, IRC, ...
Next, there is userid+password management. People will need to authenticate to use their accounts - the easiest (implementation) is userid+pwd. People forget them, want to change them, need to setup an account on a new system etc etc. Another question here is - do we add all of them to our internal accounts system or do we maintain a separate accounts system?
IMHO the best would be to use existing openSUSE accounts as for any other part of our infrastructure.
Third, we will need some sort of rate limiting - accounts are stolen all the time, we don't want anyone abusing our mail system and sending thousands of mails when an acocunt has been compromised. (not really a support matter though).
Yep, there should be dedicated volunteer for that, but accounts can be stolen even now - how is this solved now?
I'm sure I have forgotten something :-)
Might be, but it sound doable. :-) -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/
