closedA little things about member IRC cloak and email
100%
Description
Dear openSUSE administrator,
A few days ago Membership Officials has approved my openSUSE
membership application. My IRC cloak still not set. Can I get a full
opensuse.org email alias, as I see other members have:
groverchou@opensuse.org if possible.
I looked 'Sending email' part in:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members_mailaddress
But still confused about how can I do that. Sending email using this
address is it possible?
Not a big deal, hope I did not disturb you.

Sincerely,
Grover Chou

Cloak setup done.
According to https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/GroverChouT your mail alias is GroverChouT@opensuse.org - and a quick test [1] shows that it should already work. If it doesn't, please reopen ;-)

Hi，
Sorry, perhaps I did not make it clear.
I have trying to telnet mx1.suse.de 25 send email to myself.
I found it does not require verification.
And can only be sent to somebody@opensuse.org.
Can I use it send email to someone@other.domain?

The @opensuse.org address is only an alias.
We don't have a SMTP server where you can authentificate and send out mails. You'll have to use another SMTP server to do this.
I never used gmail, but AFAIK it's possible to use alternative sender addresses like your @opensuse.org address with gmail.

Hello,
I know gmail can add alias to send email, and I do tried before I open this
issue.
Actually to add a alias to email, it need use AUTH to verify account and
send another mail to verify. If I just enter a non-sense password I will
get:
Server returned error: "Unspecified Error (SENT_SECOND_EHLO): Smtp server
does not advertise AUTH capability code(0) "
Which means the original mx server must have some AUTH method to do so.
PS: I can really send mail using other openSUSE member's mail to another,
it can be a problem if not using GPG.
Sorry to bother you.

Dear Grover
this is a ticket system for the openSUSE infrastructure. We cannot help you with the details of how to use your openSUSE email alias. I suggest you ask other openSUSE members, maybe in the openSUSE forums or the openSUSE mailing lists, e.g. opensuse@opensuse.org.
I'll leave this ticket open in case there is any problem with the IRC cloak that we need to look into.

Okay, sorry about that. There is no more problems, this can be closed.
