Hi! I've been a Wikimedia contributor since 2007. While on Phab you'll usually find me working on OTRS related bugs in my capacity a Wikimedia OTRS administrator. In addition to that, I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia and am regularly available on IRC.

Rjd0060 closed T84044: clean up non-working otrs email addresses as Resolved.

These "non-working" email addresses are actually used for internal mail sorting within the system. While you may not be able to directly email these addresses, if they appear in CC fields of inbound mail they are routed to appropriate queues. These were strategically set up over time for this purpose.

I only closed it (and as invalid) as it was not a bug. I did not mean to imply it was not helpful, as I'm sure it was when you created the ticket - and perhaps now that we're discussing it again. ;-) If you feel there is benefit in it open, please do. I'm just cleaning up the OTRS board.

I'm going to close this now as I think it served its purpose and that phab is not really the best venue to discuss, plan or execute recruitment - unless it has been done for other projects? I would encourage those in the tech community to spread word that help is needed with OTRS inquiries relating to mobile issues.

After discussion with another admin, it would appear that this is an isolated incident whereby the sender set the accounts mailing list to the reply-to field. They chose to do this, and we've not encountered any other such issues in the past so we do not anticipate many, if any other in the future.

The ticket had the accounts mailing list in its reply-to address (as noted in the plan-text email header). Why is that the case, I don't know. Looking in to it. However, in the future - please contact the OTRS admins before creating phabricator tasks. Not to mention some potentially sensitive issues that could be inadvertently released in a new task here, there are usually ways teh OTRS admins can rectify issues on our end, without the needs for WMF ops.

What are we going to do about email address-based password reset?

I think we should take blocked users off the list of users who email matches the reset request. If no unblocked accounts are still in the list, then the resetting user gets the standard response that no user accounts have that email.

I don't think we actually provide such an error? When I try resetting for completely nonsense email addresses (e.g. DoesNotActuallyExist@wikimedia.org), it pretends that it's sent an email.

Patrick and other admins: Do you think this would be a good interim solution? (does it meet the goals for now?) Though a bit more cumbersome I and others can certainly help to keep the list up to date. I think the most important question is if the documentation pages would work still on otrs-wiki but public.
