 I would very much appreciate to have a working SMTP server for my
 @torproject.org email as I've said a lot of times before. I'm fine with
 using forwards for receiving emails. I do understand that hosting anything
 related to email is a big burden to the admin team. I do think it is
 important to follow modern email best practices, including all of SPF,
 DKIM, DMARC, and their friends. I do think if we ever want to get rid of
 spam emails in the world we must stop the arcane thought model behind that
 every SMTP server in the world should be allowed to send email from any
 domain name in the world - I don't think Tor Project should try to fight
 that :-)

 For LDAP password usage I do agree that I don't think it's good to re-use
 the same password everywhere, but there must be some solution to that? If
 I recall correctly, Postfix's authentication system is _very_ flexible and
 we should be able to find a solution to that problem if we think it's a
 blocker.
