With this Message Submission Agent (MSA) service, OSGeo provides the ability to send emails with the @osgeo.org domain for community members. Note that this is not a full email service with an inbox to manage and store messages.

Prerequisites

  • Get an OSGeo ID.
  • Open a ticket in the OSGeo Trac for an admin to grant this service to your user. Remember to assign to the SysAdmin component for faster routing. You probably also want to receive messages so please, communicate a stable, working, email to set up a forward.

MUA set up

Configure your e-mail client (Mail User Agent) with new SMTP outgoing server with the following settings (using Thunderbird terminology):

  • Server Name: lists.osgeo.org
  • Port: 465
  • User Name: Your OSGeo ID
  • Authentication method: Normal password
  • Connection security: SSL/TLS
