Comment (by dgoulet):

 Anyone able to impersonate a @tpo is a _serious_ problem imo and we have
 *no* defenses in place against that. They won't be perfect but it would at
 least be a start...

 The lists + forwarding problem makes it dicy for us to enable SPF/DKIM so
 I won't tackle that idea thus I'm not asking about that (to answer arma).
 But for now I would _just_ simply want my email to STOP BEING DROPPED by
 email servers that check the origin server of the `From:` address (which
 honestly I can't blame them to do).

 And whatever Gmail/Facebook do, at this point, I honestly do not care, I
 just want, by all means necessary, to be able to use my @tpo without
 ending up in SPAM or being silently dropped... This is not happening to
 only me and it will get worsts as big providers tighten their email rules
 over time.

 Please people, let us use our infrastructure so we can do our work? I mean
 half-being able to use properly my @tpo address is a big deal for me in my
 work... For instance, I get emails from people discussing specific commits
 in the code and I end up in their SPAM when I reply... This is uberly
 ridiculous considering a known-popular domain that torproject.org is...
