Toolforge

Mail

[edit]

We use a Toolforge account separately from the Cloud VPS account because it has built-in support for forwarding e-mail.

The maintainers e-mail list can be modified by current members via the Toolsadmin interface at https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/cvn/maintainers/. They should be kept in sync with the Users and Administrators groups of the "cvn" Cloud VPS settings. See T47828 for email forwarding as part of Cloud VPS.

The admins lists (as well as any other suffix behind cvn.) are implicit aliases for cvn.maintainers. We use these for the purpose of Nick management due to the limit of 5 NickServ accounts per e-mail address.

See wikitech:Help:Toolforge#Email for more details about how e-mail forwarding works in Toolforge.
