My current thinking is to solve this (and DKIM) by rewriting the senders of messages to something like: Don Armstrong <user-530149da-b58b-4a3f-aaaf-ade435f4c...@bugs.debian.org> where messages to that address could potentially be forwarded to the end user, possibly with people being able to opt-in or opt out of e-mail forwarding at any time. This would also handle some privacy requests by allowing people to request that we remove their address, and we'd only retain their UUIDv5. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com "The trouble with you, Ibid" he said, "is that you think you're the biggest bloody authority on everything" -- Terry Pratchet _Pyramids_ p146
