Well, if you are using gmail, they are subsetting the ability to send as another address, so the only alternative there would be to not send with that address from gmail? ie, use another provider to send? Us running a authenticated smtp rely doesn't change that any, or am I misunderstanding?

You can send as that address, just not from the gmail web interface after jan 2027? also, people/scripts can send you emails at that address. > That's the origin of the current discussion: Sooner or later, you cannot > send "from" [email protected] any more (becasue you can't, or it will land in If you use gmail web interface after jan 2027, right. > spam).

I could be missing something in this thread, but I thought it was about gmail changing so people couldn't send with other from addresses. I am not sure what we could do about that? IMHO, you should be able to continue using the address as you do now, except if you are using gmail you will have to use some other sending client when they remove that ability... kevin -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
