Thank you very much for this detailed answer. Congratulations for making WMCH infrastructure almost not depending of these type of problematic services (not the same in all chapters). The only point I see which could be improved is the forwarding to email boxes at Google/Yahoo/Microsoft accounts. I understand this is not under our direct control, but I think we should try to avoid sending internal information to such type of accounts in favour of companies/legislations which are more respectful of our data. I propose to invite all concerned users to: * create a WMCH mailbox for them * change the target email address to something more acceptable like email box from the provider or european web mails like GMX. Would that be feasible? Does something speaks against such type of restriction?
