toolforge root@ email bouncing (via root@wmcloud.org)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The srv-networktests service account has root@wmcloud.org as its email address. Since that email address does not route anywhere (T278109) and that service account is a maintainer of the admin tool, we're getting annoying bounce emails for all root@toolforge.org/tools.wmflabs.org emails.

Update the email account of that address to something that does not bounce. Maybe we can just blackhole it?

Another alternative (not necessarily mutually exclusive) would be to remove that account from the project members on Keystone and instead use security::access::config in Puppet to add access.conf entries that let this service account log in to only the hosts it really needs to.

aborrero claimed this task.

I just edited the email address of the account to be null@localhost (in LDAP). Hopefully that works as blackhole without further changes.

aborrero@mwmaint1002:~ $ ldapsearch -x uid=srv-networktests | grep mail
mail: null@localhost

Please reopen if required.

This is still happening.

Went one step further, deleted the email attribute:

aborrero@mwmaint1002:~ $ ldapsearch -x uid=srv-networktests | grep mail
aborrero@mwmaint1002:~ $
