No, I don't. I mean there is a useful distinction between the follow 2 classes of mail: 1) Official email from Mozilla, the organization, for things like summit announcements, or service/product announcements. 2) Email from people affiliated with Mozilla. It would be great announce to the world that all official Mozilla mail will authenticate from Mozilla, say, using DKIM, and that all unauthenticated mail claiming to be from Mozilla should be ignored. Because class 2) mail often goes through mailing lists, it has different characteristics and is very difficult to impose the same authentication requirements. See http://www.dmarc.org/overview.html for more information. We already have these two classes conflated -- adding more addresses to a domain that typical users will find visually indistinguishable from mozilla.com, only makes this problem worse. > Active Mozillians are part of the Mozilla Project, so the com vs org > difference should be enought to distinguish between paid and non-paid staff. Sorry, I'm confused. Are we supposed to distinguish between paid and non-paid staff, or not? If not, one should not have to remember whether someone is paid staff or not in order to reach them, nor should they have to change email addresses if their employment status changes. In a perfect world, I would suggest the following 1) Create aliases for all existing mozilla.com addresses to mozillians.org 2) Encourage existing mozilla.com users to use their mozillians.org address 3) Send only official mail from mozilla.com and authenticate it 4) Allocate addresses on mozillians.org at will, for whomever you want In any case, I strongly discourage the decision to create addresses on mozilla.org, because typical users will not understand the difference between org and com and it will only lead to confusion (see, for example, going to http://mozilla.com redirects to mozilla.org).
