Comment:
Dropping email based on sender verification can result in email loss.
That's a bug in the email server configuration. At worst mail should be
dropped in a "spam" folder where it can be recovered. The web server
doesn't have the email infrastructure necessary to make the changes we
suggested.
Since no-one has found a practical solution that doesn't open security
issues in two years, I'm going to close the ticket. Please reopen if you
have a concrete suggestion for fixing this. All the code is at
https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com.
