 I do use my @tpo email address for many communications outside torproject
 lists or @tpo people.

 Lately, I discovered that many of my emails were silent drop by the remote
 server or put in SPAM. And that was because the person came back to me
 asking where was my email. For instance, gmail sometimes put it in the
 SPAM still because we lack DKIM/SPF so it hurts our reputation.

 Th reason why is quite simple: I use my own SMTP server to send the emails
 while forging the `From` address.

 It would honestly be of a great help if we could simply have an
 authenticated SMTP server that I could use with let say my LDAP account
 for sending emails with my @tpo and not being worried that it gets
 dropped...
