Hi folks, I'm currently getting stuck into the better bugnotifications story[1] and I think we need to settle how notifications from Launchpad should be addressed. I'm working on three bugs, specifically:
* launchpad leaks private email addresses when sending mail [2] * Malone comments are sent in email and forge the address of the person who filed them [3] * Bug notifications have personal To: header but aren't personal [4] I had planned to fix the first two of these bugs in one branch by simply having all bug notifications have From address of [email protected], as can be seen in [5]. However, after a bit of investigation, Deryck pointed out that merge proposal notifications have a From address of the Person who triggered the notification with the Reply-to being set to the MP itself. So, question #1: What should the From: address be for bug notifications? There are two possible options, as I see it: 1. Always use [email protected] 2. Use the Person's preferred email address where possible (i.e assuming they have one and that they haven't marked their email addresses as private), otherwise use [email protected]. To compensate people who like to filter bugmail by sender, I'd proposed adding an X-Launchpad-Sender header to the bugmail, containing the user's LP name. This could still be used for both of the above solutions. As for the third bug, I'm trying to work out a way to have an impersonal To address for bugmail (probably [email protected], or some noreply address). The first solution to come to mind was to have: To: [email protected] Bcc: [email protected] Which seems to fit the description of the bug. I'm open to other solutions, however. I think it makes sense to standardise on this across Launchpad, so if there's something that already exists to handle all this please point it out to me so I can see if it's reusable.
