Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:10916 sysrqb]:
 > After chatting with lunar about it we began discussing additional
 monitoring for the email distributor. The check_email_delivery[0] nagios
 plugin was suggested.

 Thanks for that suggestion! (I'm adding it to #12802, where this
 discussion should continue.)

 use by the monitoring system (among other reasons).

 We can't safely whitelist torproject.org email addresses because the
 torproject.org mailserver doesn't do DKIM. Because of this, I started
 adding a `(email_address, gpg_fingerprint)` whitelisting feature,
 requiring that such whitelisted addresses be signed with a particular key.
 (See #9332 and note that this feature would present a maintainability
 nightmare.)

 idea, so karsten won't need to tell us.

 Or Karsten could easily add our email addresses to the script that they
 already have that alerts them. :) But perhaps this might also be a good
 idea. Make a ticket for it?

 ------

 I'm marking this as a duplicate of #12802, since it is about Nagios checks
 specifically for the Email Distributor and there is already a discussion
 going on there, even though this ticket is older. I'll make a note of
 Lunar's suggestion for the specific Nagios script there.
