<p>An e-mail address at <code>apache.org</code> is associated with every committer
account. Occasional official Apache e-mails will be directed to this
account. It is very important that you check mail sent to your <code>apache.org</code>
e-mail address regularly for announcements. You are also free to use this
address for other ASF work related to projects you work on.</p>
<p>Note that the infrastructure group provides an e-mail address for you;
however they do not provide a mailbox -- you <strong>must</strong>
setup forwarding for this address to be able to read your mails.
Instructions on how to <a href="#configure">setup your forwarding address</a> file
are available. Be sure to keep your forwarding address up to date in the
future as well.</p>
<h1 id="registering an e-mail alias # {#alias}">Registering an e-mail alias # {#alias}</h1>
<p>You can register e-mail aliases with your committer account. Registered
e-mail aliases are inspected when you subscribe to a restricted mailing list
with an e-mail other than your <code>apache.org</code> e-mail address. It is these
registered e-mail addresses that will be allowed to registered to restricted
mailing lists, assuming that you are actually allowed to subscribe to the list
in the first place.</p>
<p>On the Web, use the Selfserve app
at <a href="https://id.apache.org/">https://id.apache.org/</a></p>
<h1 id="reading e-mail from your apache.org address # {#configure}">Reading e-mail from your apache.org address # {#configure}</h1>
<p>When your committer account is first created by Infrastructure, the forwarding
e-mail address is set to the address provided in the account request (and,
typically, in the ICLA). You must keep your forwarding address up-to-date.
(You can have more than one forwarding address.)
You can view and change your forwarding addresses here:</p>
<ul>
<li>On the Web, by using the Selfserve app
at <a href="https://id.apache.org/">https://id.apache.org/</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: It used to be possible to change the forwarding address by editing
~/.forward and/or ~/.qmail files. This is no longer possible. Any manual
changes made to these files will be lost!</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: It used to be possible to not have a forwarding address. This is
no longer possible.</p>
<p>Users of GMail (Googlemail) please note that only one copy of an e-mail is
shown by GMail. If you try to test forwarding by sending a message to your
ASF account from the GMail account that is the target of the .forward, it
can be difficult to tell if it has worked. Send the test e-mail from a
different account.</p>
<h1 id="sending email from your apache.org email address">Sending email from your apache.org email address</h1>
<p>If you wish to send email using your apache.org email address you will need to submit this via the committer mail-relay service. This can be configured in your mail environment using the following configuration:</p>
<pre><code>Server: mail-relay.apache.org
Port: 587 (STARTTLS), 465 (SSL)
User/Pass: {Your LDAP credentials}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are using <em>Gmail</em> for your <code>apache.org</code> e-mail, there is
a way to configure it to take advantage of this service. See
<a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/send-mail-from-another-address-without.html">Gmail's feature</a>
to allow outbound mail from your <code>apache.org</code> address to be directed to
the mail-relay service, instead of to a Gmail server, for delivery.</p>
