Email Aliases
We provide email aliases on the fedoraproject.org domain to all registered contributors.
Getting Your Aliases
In order to get your email aliases, you must create an account in the Fedora Account System . You must also sign the Contributor License Agreement.
Once your account is ready, you will get aliases based upon the following template:
accountname@fedoraproject.org
Your aliases will forward to whatever email address you have registered in the Account System. If ever you need to change the address your mail forwards to, that is the place to do it.
You will not be provided with any sort of POP, IMAP, or web-based email access. You will not be provided with any mail storage. These aliases are forwarding-only. In order to send mail 'from' these addresses, you must set the From header on your email from your current email client. Many free web-based email services do not offer this ability, so you may need to establish an account elsewhere to gain this ability. The necessary configuration steps vary for each email client, so you are on your own to figure out how to do this.
Working Clients
These clients are known to allow explicit From headers, which allows your email to appear as being 'from' your aliases.
