[jessesquires]

Reports that emails are going to spam because sender domain (@protonmail) is not owned by us.

Investigate getting an @techworkersco email address.

The article below has information on what needs to be changed. Set Up Custom Domain Authentication: DKIM and SPF: http://eepurl.com/b43Lqb

If protonmail.com is not your domain (which it looks like it may be a free email service) then you may consider instead getting a custom domain to send from. The following two articles give a bit more context:

@techworkersco/newsletter-folks This is now completed. 🎉

Emails will be sent from news-noreply@techworkerscoalition.org. The domain is verified and authenticated.

This is a "no-reply" address to send from only. We will still use our proton mail account for everything else.

Nice. Thanks for sorting this out, @jessesquires 😻

HuzZah! Question: why not set up an alias to reply to the Protonmail account?

I can think of two reasons:

1. Administration and maintenance overhead.
2. It makes having an encrypted Protonmail account moot if we're forwarding email through other, presumably un-encrypted, services.

That said, I don't know if we care about having an encrypted Protonmail account for this. In which case, if it was possible to set up a @techworkerscoalition.org account, that might be nicer than using the Protonmail one. Would require some more set up and relying on whoever runs techworkerscoalition.org to help administer it, though.

1. is probably inevitable if we’re allowing emails in the first place :( 2. is a legitimate concern, not sure if we’re trying to ensure end to end encryption, but why not, if we can My reason for asking about reply ability is, I get a bit put off by seeing no-reply emails, like I’m stuck on the receiving end of someone else’s project. And I would like us to be able to include folks who care enough to reply. How do others feel about this?

thanks for sorting this @jessesquires!

I personally never pay attention to whether an email address is no-reply so I don't really mind that. The protonmail email is listed at the bottom of the email, right?

Correct. The "email us" link goes to proton mail.
