Hi.
Sorry if this discussion has already been made...
Why isn't it possible to configure an smtp-server to send username@fedoraproject.org mails?
Without it, I'm not able to properly use my fedora-mailadress - at least at the moment.
Or are there any workarounds for people without an own mail-server?

In your mail client you should be able to set a @fedoraproject.org address. Lots of other providers support this as well (like gmail for example)

At the moment, it should not be possible to set a @fedoraproject.org adress in any mail client - natively. Only via From headers, which allows your email to appear as being 'from' your aliases, but only appearing...[1] I whished you could set up a smpt server in order to make it possible to send mails from the fedoraproject account. At the moment i'm only able to receive mails, via another mail-box, but am not able to sent mails which 'appear' to be from @fedoraproject.org

I'm against this because of the risk of some idiot deciding to use our SMTP server to send bunches of SPAM e-mails. Add in issues with RBLs and what not.
I should also add that this is nowhere near a fix as many ISPs have started blocking SMTP access for their users to servers that they do not control, for this very same reason. So no, I don't think configuring an SMTP server with worth the time and effort for a few people that are unable to 'fake' the From: field in their clients.
