Dear developers,

In the past months, it's been clear that sending mails from an
@debian.org address to some mail providers, including GMail, has become
harder and harder. While user DKIM feature (documented on [0]) can help,
we thought providing a relay server for our users to send their Debian
mail was a more long-term solution.

Thanks a lot for doing this. I started sending mails using @debian.org address now.


If you have any question or issue, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I would like to bring up the issue of providers with strict SPF record, for example disroot.org

dig -t TXT disroot.org has the relevant line,
disroot.org.		3600	IN	TXT	"v=spf1 a mx -all"

which means people using disroot.org to receive debian.org forwarded mails cannot receive any mails sent from other disroot.org users. I have also seen rejections with some other mail servers with strict SPF enforced.

Can we enable SRS [1] on the forwarding mail server to mitigate this? This would also be relevant for @debconf.org aliases too.
