In a closer look, I now see that there are two separate email addresses: 'edit_email' and 'edit_ldap'. I see they were introduced in #829419 but it's not entirely clear on the site how each of them is used. The first form (newnm) said the address entered therein would be used as the forwarding address for a @d.o address, but then it set the 'edit_email' address, while 'email_ldap' was left blank. I assume the 'contact address' is the public address and the 'LDAP address' can be set to a dedicated, for-mail-filtering-purposes address, and I've now done so. (Consequently, the DDPO/Portfolio/* links now find me.) If this understanding is correct, then this is mostly a documentation issue: the newnm page describes the 'LDAP address' but sets the 'public address'. Cheers, Daniel
