I think that is also a good candidate for 6.2.70. I'm going to give that a thorough review before including it. Do we really need www.sympa.community for the web URL? sympa.community looks much nicer to me :-)

Do we really need www.sympa.community for the web URL? sympa.community looks much nicer to me :-)

This is a restriction by GitHub Pages. It ties arbitrary hostname to GitHub with a CNAME record (See documentation). E.g., in our case:

www.sympa.community.    86400   IN       CNAME   sympa-community.github.io.

However, since hostname with CNAME record cannot be given other records (see RFC 2181), the feature above makes other usage of that hostname (e.g., MX) impossible.

As a next best solution, I made HTTP access to sympa.community (not tied to GitHub) be redirected to www.sympa.community (tied to GitHub): thus sympa.community doesn't need CNAME record, so it may also be used for MX.
