With my kernel.org address I get mail forwarding and a SMTP server for
sending emails ->
https://korg.wiki.kernel.org/userdoc/mail
A SMTP server for mail deliver used by DDs would be money much better
spent than paying random companies to get @debian.org on their
whitelist. After all, a random person can post using leader@debian.org
and his dial-up or $2 VM and getting through the whitelists.
I don't get the point why the debian machines would get a copy of email
email sent. It ends up in the spool folder and gets deleted once
delivered. Also I don't see the point why using a specific machine mail
delivery is problem.

Nope. I don't mind that email is forwaded only but SMTP should be part
of the email setup.
