The mail-address (envelope sender) gentoo's bugzilla sends from is currently www-data@wwwjr.cws.oregonstate.edu Several mailservers on the internet have sender callback enabled which means they check if the sender email is valid by knocking on the MX for the domain and trying a RCPT TO:. As on the machine wwwjr.cws.oregonstate.edu is no SMTPd running the mail is rejected (unable to verify sender - try again later), so there are mail losses. For normal users of these mailservers it's not to fix as it requires access to the mailserver configuration. Sender callbacks are an effective method to block SPAM, please change the envelope from of bugs.gentoo.org's email. I can't use my primary email address for bugreports because of this problem.
I think this is the reason why I can't change my e-mail address on the gentoo bugzilla preferences screen. I get a mail to my old address stating that I will get a mail to my new address that I should use to confirm the change. But I never receive the mail to my new address (@users.sourceforge.net). Plz, fix this asap...
It seems nothing is to be done? I noticed now that it probably sends without sender domain as the name of my incoming mailserver is appended. Gentoo's bugzilla is quite buggy.
bugzilla has been moved to a new server. emails are confirmed to be sending from bugzilla-daemon@gentoo.org. closing.
bugzilla-daemon@gentoo.org should be reachable. No mind if it pipes into /dev/null, but the mail-daemon should accept mails for it in order to let sender verify working correctly. I noticed (but I'm not that sure) that the primary daemon of gentoo.org does return success on every VRFY anyway, but it's safer when you enable an account for it (also in case maildaemon changes).
this is already the case. dropping priority/severity since it was not critical.... closing bug.
